THE Land Development Agency (LDA) is poised to announce backing for a second major apartment scheme in the Cork Docklands before year end, with speculation centred on Glenveagh Properties’ plan for more than 1,000 apartments near the Marina.

In addition, it has plans for another 900 homes across two nearby sites: 600 at the ESB’s decommissioned Marina power station landbank on Centre Park Road and 300 at a Bord na Móna site on Monahan Road.
