Hey Guys,
Does anyone have info on a new late night venue on North Main Street? I’m not wondering about the Gaffney Group premises currently been built on the former Classic Bar site, but on the corner building known as the Young Boys Catholic Association building. I heard that Joe Donovan (who bought the Oyster Bar, etc) owns it and has planning for a late night theatre venue (I’m sure it will be a nightclub though 😉 ) that can hold up to 1200 people approx!!. This is a very large site.If im correct..Don’t yee think between newly owed Redz (holds 700 people), Gaffney Group new venue (900 people approx) and this purposed venue by Joe Donovan (1200 person’s approx), all 30 meters from each other, will create havoc on any given busy night. THATS 2800 people approx on lets say Saturday night pouring onto North Main street & Liberty St. at 2.30am. !!! Pity the residents.
The other 2500 approx coming from Cubins, Reardens & Havana Browns Night club must also have an impact to MANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS that may arise in the future. The issues of different clientel coming from the various venues, mixing on the streets with drink on board is always a major factor to the source of trouble that could lay ahead.Don’t get me wrong, it is excellent with money been largely invested still into bars & late night venues (BluBamoo on Sheares St., holds 1200 persons, 6.5 million invested by Ultimate Leisure PLC) with the uncertainty in the Licenced trade today ….. but common sense must prevail.!
I’ve seen it before in certain area’s -Residents/ Hospitals/ Motorists/ Neil Prendaville (HAHA:)) C.C.C (street litter etc)ALL COME AT ONCE, looking for the source of the various problems. But most of all the Gardai. These premises are all under the the durastriction of The Bridewell Garda Station, which is badly in need of extra resources already. All you need is to PEEE OFF one or two Sergeants and need i say more….
These premises are all expected to be open for the new student season in September when the students come back from hols. I think this area will be in my eyes, Corks Temple Bar… Good Luck and weldone to the publicans there but just be cautious. 🙂Exterior Views on BVD’s Unity House by the train station.. Notice the glass frontage to some of the apartments.. 🙂

Sorry …Having trouble with drawings that i scanned.. Will post proper ones ( Exterior Looks etc) when i get a chance.. thx :confused: problems with my scanner i think..

Has any one images of the development on the lower road opposite the siemens building being developed by Bride View Developments hopefully it will be to the same high standard as their apartment development on the site of the old arcadia ball room.Simple but tasty!
I have been informed by BVD that a few groups have made offers to purchase Unity House COMPLETELY.. One group offered to purchase the site in its current status (stop work) so they can change it to offices, pending planning been granted, but BVD has rejected this offer.
Another offer is from a separate group who has made an offer (around 3 million euros approx) to purchase the complete building once construction is completed. This is close to been finalised so keep and eye on this one.
Hmmm , that penthouse apartment looked quiet good on the plans with its roof garden (400sq ft approx.). BVD had planned to furnish these apartments to a high spec (similar to there current apartments been built by them in Douglas) . Will keep you informed in due course. I have drawings and floor layouts that i have scanned in. exterior plans and top floor plan.. Lower floors are just as nice with plate glass surrounding part of building. Hope they are ok .! 🙂

QUOTE : Ward Anderson had been maintaining talks with CCC about seeking planning permission on a redevelopment of the site – which they then would sell with F.P.P. ~ however Mr. Costello’s persistence evidently paid off. Although I was aware that the deal had been struck, I was unaware until last night that planning would be sought so soon. And yes, planning is being sought.
With regards to the long- awaited development at the Capitol Cinplex , the sale of the Capitol to Mr. John Costello and co. is ALL subject to planning granted to WardAnderson by CCC..I have been speaking to a senior partner in WardAnderson over the weekend and have been informed that they expect to get “MANY” objections for various reasons that will delay the whole process considerably. Same ‘ol Same ‘ol no doubt. Ive no doubt that there will be a few suprises yet with this site ! :rolleyes: Also, another Cinema planned in the city centre maybe . !!? 😉 Will know more soon.

I have the plans for the apartments been bult by Bride View Developments (where the old petrol station was) if any one would like a copy..

Lexington,
Do you know if there is any plans in the pipeline to “do up” the last untouched hugenot burial ground in Cork City ,on careys lane.. There was plans to develop on it but objections came in, in the hundred even from afar.. I heard that there is money set aside by the cork corporation to make it an tourist attraction but ..?? Monica Johns clothing shop currently owns it ( Located on French Church St. opposite) but can do ZERO with it because it is listed.. see some old photos from 1920s i think..

🙂 You would think with Cork 2005 City of Culture, they might of used the money avaiable to make it an attraction..

anyone know about the following:
a) who is behind the development going on in douglas, opposite dailys shop, ridge developments are the builders
b) there is a swathe of land in passage, opposite the car showrooms of jerry collins ( who has since moved back to enniskeane leaving the site available i imagine) – supposed to be a fair few houses going in on the land opposite these showrooms, any info?
Hey Pug, With regards to Developments ACROSS from the old “Dailys Shop” (Which is now the ” CENTRE ” shop) in Douglas village (near Douglas GAA Club for whomevers lost ) is owned by Mr Monte himself (Paul Montgomery of Reardens Bar). I’ve always loved that large house hidden away behind the ivy-grown large stone wall, if its the one i think youve mentioned. Thus , a while back i saw planning to develop it into apartments and was dissappointed.. 🙁 .. I did not see the plans/ drawings for it though ,so even though the dream little hideaway will be no more, i cannot say if its going to be GOOD or BAD. But im sure one or two of you may come back with nearby information. 🙂
Regards…
