Plans for a major €200m mixed-use development investment in Munster’s largest retail complex, Mahon Point in Cork have been cleared by Cork City Council, subject to 52 conditions.

The project, dubbed ‘Mahon 2.0’ is a significant investment to include 251 apartments, an office block for up to 580 workers, a new civic plaza/market square for gatherings such as the weekly farmers markets, a multi-storey car park, a discount retailer, and eight to 10 additional “bigger box” shops — including a very large unit to suit a major retailer.
