Yeah I’ve heard Wagamama is suppose to be pretty nice – never myself been to one, but if the rumours are true -it will make a nice little addition to the city’s culinary scene.
The above is a pretty unflattering CG Image of the new Radisson SAS Hotel (122 bedrooms) at Ditchley House, Little Island (part of the new O’Flynn Construction ‘EastGate Park’). The hotel is due to open Summer 2005 and was designed by Dennehy + Dennehy Designs with construction by John Sisk & Sons Ltd. It stands out far better in reality than in the above image.
Although Frinailla Ltd received their planning decision for their latest Watercourse Road development in Blackpool on Saturday (?!) from CCC, I have to admit, I never got a chance to hear the verdict. A gentleman at McCutcheon Mulcahy I was talking to this morning about a sepearte project informed me, to the best of his knowledge the project would probably be greenlit – but I’ll know tomorrow morning for sure. If so, Frinailla will have finally received the go-ahead after a pretty unpleasant record of applications for the extensive site. Their original plan for a 9-storey (over basement) 70m euro residential and commercial/community development was refused by CCC and ABP back in 2003, early 2004. Their application to conduct subsurface investigations on the site (given the success of their Grand Parade development site) was refused by CCC and now in appeal. So hopefully this, their latest application for a residential and commercial development of 153 residential units, retail, medical, creche and community related units, underground car-parking, a library and so on will have made the cut. It’s a marked improvement on their previous attempts and vitally needed in the area, among Cork’s most unpleasantly derelict. John Paul Construction will be contractors.
