O’Callaghan Properties – through its subsidiary, Leeside Quays Limited – applied for planning in June for the residential units, comprising apartments and duplexes, on a six hectares site at the former Gouldings fertiliser plant, with the city council granting planning permission in the last few days.
“Cork city docklands is recognised as having a key national economic development role. Thousands of jobs have already been created in docklands and it is imperative that residential development runs parallel. Otherwise, investment momentum will be impacted,” he said. The development will also include a stand-alone two storey creche and will also involve the construction of pedestrian and cycle links and road crossings with a proposal to locate a mobility hub, where people can switch from one mode of transport to another, on Centre Park Road.
The street network will be car-free and the mobility hub will offer EV Go Car, cycling and public transport choices, with some 1400 long-stay bike parking spaces available to those living in the development and a further 355 short stay spaces available to members of the public, he said.
