THE former tax office site on Sullivan’s Quay, Cork, earmarked for a hotel and offices, appears set for redevelopment as student accommodation by construction giant BAM.

The Irish Examiner understands that the site of just under one acre will soon be the subject of a planning application to Cork City Council, following pre-planning discussions between BAM and council officials.
