Around 140 affordable homes planned for Cork City Council carpark site

Figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) last week showed a 6.7% decrease in house building nationally between 2023 and 2024, while homelessness figures continue to rise

The site is within short walking distance of the city centre, Kent train station, and main bus terminus at Parnell Place.

The Land Development Agency (LDA) is to ramp up its housing delivery in Cork city with plans to build 140 affordable homes on a site currently used as a car park by Cork City Council workers.

Earmarked for Anglesea Terrace, at the junction of Old Station Road and South Link Road, close to the Elysian, the majority of homes will be cost-rental apartments, with a percentage going to the Council for social housing.
