The developers of a prime docklands site in Cork City’s Marina Quarter have lodged a new planning application seeking permission to build 176 apartments on the former Live at the Marquee site.

The application, by Glenveagh Properties-backed Marina Quarter Ltd, proposes two apartment blocks — ranging in height from seven to 10 storeys — at what was once Ford’s distribution site, bordered by Centre Park Rd, Monahan Rd, and the Marquee link road.
