The Loft

THE Loft, a landmark Cork city centre furniture store with strong development potential, has hit the market with a €6m guide price.

The vendors of the well-known premises, the Herlihy family, have already run the rule over potential future uses — guided by Douglas Wallace Architects — and have prepared a preliminary scheme for a mixed-use project that includes retail space and student accommodation.
