Yet more “copy and paste†architecture, Cork City Council could not give a damm as long as the development levies are suitably large but the design team should be ashamed of themselves for allowing that square featureless monstrosity see the light of day.
McCarthy Developments seems to have suffered a set back with their Jacobs Island scheme. They applied to increase the heights of the previously permitted Apartment blocks 3 + 4 thus increasing the density from 57 units to 106 units for both. These blocks were to be at the tunnel end of the site, The council however under the new application refused permission for Block 3 and want the new proposed height of Block 4 reduced by one story. This now leaves the developers with less apartment units for this section than originally granted.
Origins planning application for the R&H Hall site has been requested for Further Info
Murrayfordes plans for Kyrls Quay have been given the go ahead conditionally, the application was for a 7 storey hotel with pool and 8 storey building with 80 apts
Port of Cork, the owners of one of the finest heritage buildings in the Country that is falling into disrepair (Bonded Warehouses, Custom House Quay) the same Port of Cork Company that has its begging bowl out looking for a digout from the taxpayer to relocate downriver to allow for Docklands regeneration, the same company that has sitting and former councillors on its board have objected to Origin Enterprises plans for the R&H Hall site.:o

http://www.atlanticquarter.comExcellent website, fair play to Howard Holdings for their vision.
Howard Holdings seem to have put up a new website in the past few weeks with some good info on schemes / CGI’s etc…… just in case no one has seen it!!
Sorry, try this link: Kyrls Quay
It’s been a quiet couple of weeks here. Today I noticed they seem to be making a start on that boardwalk by Sullivans Quay. See attached poor quality images from an old camera phone.
Also nice to see workers powerwashing the national monument, whether that’s the ideal way of cleaning the stonework or not.
It seems that the boardwalk (or river platform or whatever) will be very short, from Parliament bridge to Nano Nagle bridge. I wonder would there be any problem with extending it to the South Gate Bridge, and perhaps even all the way along the edge of the brewery site to Lancaster quay? It would do wonders for this neglected part of the river (and this part of the city as a whole).
Also, once this work is completed, the only remaining eyesore on the Grand Parade will be the former Grand Parade hotel and neighbouring sites. Does anyone know what’s the current status of the porject(s) proposed for these sites?
Wow things are moving on since i’ve been away. how are the cafe pods faring? complete yet?
The new board walk at the Grand Parade end of the South Mall is taking shape, it’s going to be fairly short but guess that was as much as it was possible to do.
See the boardwalk opposite tax office is finished.
The ACC building at the end of boardwalk really stands out.
Great potential once vacated by acc. Potentail for Bar/cafe. South West facing aspect. Not many bars in the city where you catch the sun when sitting outside.
