just saw this in breakingnews http://www.breakingnews.ie/2004/11/15/story175995.html
Patrick St the best shopping street in the country?? thought that would have gone to Grafton St, good to see though! anyone have any info on this new landmark or even better still any images??
lexington can you let me know what height the eglington st development is going to be? will it be smaller or taller than the county hall?
things are coming along nicely, when do you expect work to begin on Cornmarket St Lexington? This area is in dire need of its imminent makeover!!
A few questions for those in the know!!
what is to happen to the silos down the docks, are they still in use? presume they are going to be knocked at some stage?
what exactly is going up on the old An Post site? anyone got pictures of what is planned? Has it started yet?
any move yet on Horgan’s Quay??
I know some of these have been dealt with before but any updates would be appreciated!
more info on the CSM http://www.96fm.ie/newsroom/indepth.asp?id=51547&pt=n
Does anyone know what is planned for the row of houses on the road opposite the old greyhound track?? heard it was supposed to be turned into student accommodation but for months there has been nothing about it as far as I know. Anyone shed some light?

New Town on Bandon Road? Would that be the proposal by M O Flynn a number of years back, for a new town near Ovens? Was rejected as it went against the CASP principles and sustainable expansion of the city based on public transport corridors.City’s proposal for webworks/data centre on Albert Quay, are Howard Holdings developing that? anyone?
Hope that is true about the data warehouse!!
The Bandon Rd development was supposed to be down by Crossbarry just past Halfway! It was announced the same time as the new town just north of Blarney, which is definitely going ahead.
2 things I have heard about in the press about a while back but haven’t heard anymore since, can someone please shed a bit of light on these?? the first one is the proposed new town on the Bandon Rd, has this been scrapped or is it still going ahead? the second is the development of a data warehouse in Cork, this is vital if we are to attract IT companies to Cork, anyone know when/if this is going to happen?
thanks
sorry lexington can’t view the images, getting remote linking of images not allowed!!
cheers for all the info though
corkdood as far as know it is more student apartments, heard it is supposed to be starting soon enough. I am sure Lexington will have more info for you!
On the subject of litter, I was home a few weeks ago and thought the place was beginning to look alot better, suppose with the amount of wrok going on in streets as Oliver Plunkett St, it is bound to create a bad initial impression!

I always took the Beamish building’s appearance for granted due to the style of building and it’s age. A simple lick of paint could do harm! It’s also important to note that this building is a mere outpost of a much larger foreign company so it might not even register on their radar.Devin – I agree with your assertion on the porch in the Heineken/Murphy’s building – I always thought it looked kind of clumsy.
I think most people agree that the unpainted parts shouldn’t be painted, but they should be repaired and the general maintenance of the place is a disgrace.
personally I think it could be a beautiful building if maintained properly, a lick of paint and clearing the weeds wouldn’t take too much! Never been in it but from the photograph of the back it is probably fairly manky! would need a few million to bring it up to scratch……..least they could do though is maintain the front.
anyone have any information on what the story is with the bank of ireland building that is at the back of the south mall?? saw plans for it ages ago but nothing seems to have happened yet, it has been derelict for years now. The plans looked good though!
see the thing is anto as far as I know as part of planning getting approved for the Mahon project O’Callaghan had to build a conference centre along with it. Now he won’t invest in a city centre one as he understandably wants to protect his investment in Mahon. Supposedly plans are fairly advanced!
IMO it might be the best option if we want one in the next 2/3 years. CIE seem to be holding up any development for Horgan’s key every chance they get and the GAA want to buy the Showgrounds so they can do up Pairc Ui Chaoimh, which is badly needed as well.
