Buyer for Cork's former Roches and Debenhams premises expected in coming months

The iconic former Roches building has had strong interest from potential buyers

The former Roches/Debenhams store in Cork is on the market for €20m.

Strong, across-the-board developer and investor/developer interest is being shown in Cork City’s former Debenhams premises on St Patrick’s Street which is on the market for €20m, say selling agents Cushman & Wakefield, as they also bring the gleaming order Douglas Village Shopping Centre to market this week with a €21m price guide.

“There is a strong determination to have a deal done on Debenhams this year,” asserts Cushman & Wakefield Cork MD Peter O’Flynn, confirming wider property market observations that the 1.4-acre property site, the iconic Roches Stores building, is getting very active inquiries from both local and national developers, as well as investment interests.
