New life promised for Cork's North Main Street as €25m project is first of several planned

BMOR property developers plans for a €25m investment in a 280-bed student accommodation project, with services, and two new retail units, on the site of the former Munster Furniture, which has lain derelict since the original Georgian buildings were destroyed by fire in 2008

LARGE-scale plans for a second urban regeneration site on Cork city’s North Main Street, focused around the North Main Street Shopping Centre, may follow on an initial €25 million investment at a derelict site, vacant and cleared after a fire back in 2008.
