THE arrival on site of a tower crane at Horgan’s Quay signals that work has begun in earnest on building Cork city’s first large-scale apartment block in almost 20 years.

The Clarendon Properties/BAM residential development, backed by the Land Development Agency (LDA), is due to deliver 302 apartments by September 2026, with the capacity to house at least 500 people.
