Tower Development Properties Ltd is committed to delivering a 34-storey hotel on Cork city’s Custom House Quay, even though no visible development has taken place since the project was given the go-ahead more than four years ago.

Cork City Council has engaged with the developers and told the Irish Examiner that “the owner remains focused on developing the site in line with the granted planning permission”, which runs out in March next year.
