THE recent dearth of development land for new homes in and around Cork looks like easing, as the first quarter of 2022 brings multi-million euro land offers in Rathcooney, and Mallow, along with some longer-term land parcels being pitched at wealthy buyers banking down solid land banks and assets, in a hedge against inflation (see separate Rochestown land story, below.) Coming to market this week are 53 acres at Rathcooney, a city quarter already seeing plans advance for over 1,500 new homes, offered in up to three lots with a €3.2m AMV via agents CBRE and ERA Downey McCarthy.
