Developer BAM has ruled out selling a high-profile site in the heart of Cork City which it has failed to develop six years after being cleared by planners to build a hotel and offices.

The Sullivan’s Quay site is one of two key city centre sites which BAM was expected to develop but both of which lie idle. The second is across the river from Sullivan’s Quay, on South Main St, a 1.8ha site which was previously part of the former Beamish & Crawford brewery. The latter is earmarked for an event centre.
