That anti high rise development (CSD) Muppet Councillor Jerry “I want to be a TD at any cost†Buttimer 😮 may have jumped the gun of his betters (i.e. the CSD Group) in objecting to the development of the former Esso Garage site in Bishopstown.
This development would consist of, demolition of all existing structures on site,(petrol pumps) construction of a new access onto Bishopstown Road, construction of car park access ramp, construction of a five storey mixed use building ( 11,052m2 gross floor area) over 3 basement levels of car parking (289 spaces), comprising, – 7 units of retail with optional additional use of restaurants, financial services and professional services, Medical and health services use in 7 units, and drop-in childcare facility at level 1, medical and health services use in subdividable units at level 2,3 and 4.
:rolleyes: Hopefully this dude will have a helicopter ready to transport his sorry ass to a medical facility if needed that he objects to in Wilton due to the traffic causing delays to him and his “nothing but a bungalow allowed sweetheart†Mary “full time bull’st*er†Shields of FF on their way to play bowels 7 days a week.
😮 We really do get what we deserve on the fools we vote for!!
Decision due date 9/1/07How can Jerry Buttimer object to every development when he called for and got a new area action plan for Wilton/Bishopstown which premits height and density? Is this guy on his own personnel agenda and how would HQ Fine Geal feel about objecting to Medical Clinics for the greater community when our health system is under so mush pressure. The only hope is for Jerry to be elected to the Dail where he will have to confrom to party policy ,so I have decided for the good of Cork City to Vote Jerry and put him on the next train to Dublin!
😀Guide price on Wilton Centre is €320-330m not what papers reported last week €285m)
Dublin prices have arrived in Cork but are there any silly fools willing to pay this?
It most certainly wil not be a Cork based developer as the fat has all been stripped out by Joe OD, based
on maxing the local area plan. An other interesting taught is that the councilors in bishopstown aka Gerry(i want to be a TD) and Mary (i only like bungalows)Sheilds pushed and pushed for the very plan which has given Wilton the increase in value by HEIGHT and floor area So when this giant shopping centre is put into planning will these same people run around flapping? One thing for sure if I was (i am not) Joe OD, I would fund Gerrys(i am a teacher get me out of here!) campaign next year as a thank you or maybe he is already!!!!!!News around town is that Joe O’Donavan is about to lodge for permission to build a feature building at Wilton Centre. It will be 12 stories high with some retail linking to the existing centre but mostly made up of apartments. Now Jerry “Cllr Buttimer” and the rest of his anti high rise can really get their knickers in a twist, and let the games begin.Hope for Wilton and Bishopstown this get approval.

In responce to your suggestion that JoeO’Donovan and Wilton Shopping centre are worst off over Primark(Penny’s) moving in rather than M&S.Firstly M&S is an upmarket dept style retailer who only attract a certain higher end customer and this would limit Wilton’s appeal to the much large market that Primark represent.Given that Primark have the largest foot fall of any retailer on Patricks Street and foot fall is related to rents ,now Joe O’Donavan has a stronger tenant paying a higher rent (over the €15 sqft that M&S wanted) which he can use to rise the profile and yield on his centre.Joe O’Donovan has paid €7.5m for the former Ernst & Young building on Oliver Plk Street, what is this man using for Cash! It would be nice if someone could add up his current exposure to the Cork property market, for his sake lets hope the good times keep comin’ and comin’
Hope adm will not try to spilt up this new tread as Cork needs a source for all the gossip, its being a quite 2 weeks !!!
Jerry Buttimer in today’s Examiner calls for “a moratorium on major devlopments ” in his ward.
Its a pity his veiws only extent to Bishopstown and not to his GAA buddies Devlopment @Victoria Mills.
Is this guy for real in thinking the planning processes final decision to grant must be a democratic decision imagine that trying to work in todays Celtic Tiger economy.
God help us if this guy every tries for the Dail,what a clown.It’s a sad day for archiseek when Thursdays Examiner is the only source of development news in Cork.
Mr Lexington where ever you are come back……..PLEASE……Lex the two houses to the rear of the Esso site @Wilton have been bought by a developer ,it would make sence if this was the same purchaser as the Esso site.This would give a whole new aspect to redeveloping the site with regard height and usage next to CUH.
In reference to Esso site sales in Cork ,I have heard Paul Montogermie paid under 6 million for the Western Road site.Derek Tynan a.k.a Victoria Mills is finalising plans but planners not happy for this site to achieve same height as Jury Hotel, as its on other side of river!
Does any one know plans for Douglas and Wilton (Esso Site) and who bought them?’
