A SITE at the southern fringes of Cork City’s south dockland campus is for sale for €2.75m, capable of accommodating ‘several hundred’ urgently-needed residential units, in an area where far larger apartment schemes have long been mooted to match the surge in office jobs and to address an accommodation crisis.

Listed with agents Cushman & Wakefield is a site of 1.78 acres on Monahan Road, on the southern fringe of the south docks, owned by a long-established construction firm who acquired it after a previous mixed-use application in the mid-2000s was rejected by An Bord Pleanala.
