Re: Re: developments in cork

Kite………….

“We are actively encouraging developers to build comfortable town-houses and are constantly improving the public realm in an effort to reduce the decline in the city. The docklands development, for example, will make the urban environment more enticing.”
The €254m development, close to the city centre, is set to create 6,000 new homes, including high-density apartments and office and retail space as well as culture and leisure facilities.
Mr Gavin said first-time buyers will be drawn back to the city following the creation of a number of parks and a new marina.[/QUOTE]

Classic stuff…..hopefully Dan Buggy’s departure, Pat Ledwidge’s arrival and everything that Howards are doing doing the Docks will kick things off. Can’t see the Port of Cork doing too much and I wouldn’t hold my breath on the Albert Quay / Kennedy Quay end of things. All said and done, the Council’s (Manager’s) pronouncements are a hostage to fortune (bankers / developers and a certain SP)
