Cork site with planning for 118 apartments goes on sale for €4.75m

Railway Gardens got planning in 2019 for 118 units in a 17-storey tower, but the grant is due to run out in spring. It's now being pitched for social and affordable housing

Railway Gardens secured a 2019 SHD planning grant for this Meitheal Architects' designed 17 storey, 118-unit tower on Cork city's N27/South Link Road. It's now for sale with a €4.75m price tag via agents ERA Downey McCarthy

A TOWER apartment site 500 metres from Cork City Hall has been put up for sale where An Bord Pleanala approved a 118 unit development with 17 storey tower in 2019.

However, the planning for the tall and dense development on a 0.8 acre Railway Gardens site – achieved under the Strategic Housing Development (SHD) process - is set to expire in coming months, says selling agent Sean McCarthy of ERA Downey McCarthy who guides at €4.75m.
