Re: Re: developments in cork

Cobbled stonework on Custom House Quay (first image) and Anderson’s Quay (second image).

The value of the land (est’d at between €6.75m and €8.5m – which is quite reasonable given the site constraints) would perhaps dictate a taller structure. The problem here is that any taller structure would have to be of some pretty amazing design to justify its provision. The site prominence and relationship to PS all come into play here. Often the first viewpoint of Cork city centre island for visitors, the design of any new build will have to be of true, international landmark status – no ifs or buts. A waterbus docking or marina facility could perhaps be provided in some small part at the site tip – however river dimensions may complicate this. A boardwalk and docking pontoon could be provided off the cobbled quayside and clearly any parking associated with a redevelopment will have to be off-site.[/QUOTE]

😡 Whoever is responsible for this site, in this state should be in Jail.. there is no justification for this site, or the CIE site oppsite to be the SLUM looking gateway to Cork City
