Hi ya Lexington…( Knowledgeable One) !!
Regarding the capitol cinema on the grand parade:
Do you know who bought Central Shoes Stores ?? ….I think the same group/person purchased the Oster Bar also, behind the Capitol, for almost twice its value … (Oster was bought by scribben group 2years ago for 3.2 million and recently purchased for a whopping 6 million by someone!!? ) Thus, would you think the purchasing of the surrounding property around the Capitol Cinema means only one thing for the Capitol, the Grand Parade and Cork City.? Any drawings for plans on the grand parade.
Cheers
kingcroninParticipant[thank you kindly…
with the preserved ceilings (Listed building) in most of the sq footage in HMV and pavillion , would you think that this would be big turnoff to developers or is this issue not a problem ?? Hope im not picking your brains too much?

(see City Manager Joe Gavin’s city report Nov 2003) And since I’ve already opened my yak, I may as well tell you the plan by the private investment firm will include a 6-storey over dual basement retail and leisure development w/ food-court, 20 – retail outlets, 3 late-bars and apparently 2 night-clubs – and depending on insurance, Cork’s 1st permanent ice-rink (OH YEAH!) at the upper basement level.
Hi Lexington….Ward Anderson have a few more premises in COrk City well over 30,000 sq ft suprisingly…. One of which is ,On Patrick ST , Tom Anderson from Ward Anderson Group owns the HMV building, Orignally the pavillion cinema,, Paviilion niteclub, Coopers Bar, restuarants, small shops and surrounding corner premises going all the way back down careys lane with many exits and laneways. Dont you think that there may be something in the planning in due course here?
