I've read over on People's Republic of Cork that there are plans already for the area around R&H Hall ? Can't find anything on the internet on it.

With the new office development in planning for Albert Quay (the other proposed site for the Events Centre) the docks will really take off.

Not sure if there is any new plans. There was a planning application made for apartments in 2006. Obviously the economy took a nose dive soon after so I think the project was canned.

Loads of new houses. Not sure where they could put a new road between Ballincollig and the City ? Any ideas ?

between the roundabout on the short dual carraigeway and CIT.

could be a good opportunity to build a BRT type operation along this new road to CIT. Create bus priority on this new stretch.

I rolled my eyes to office development (thread title) and the development near the elysian.

You rolled your eyes at 'another' office block

Another - being the crucial word here. You then called for more recreational based projects.

Myself and a few other posters listed multiple other projects taking off in Cork so as to show that it isn't just another office block after another, however you then hilariously decided to say 'Oh I'm not talking about that' 'per thread title and Elysium' - which doesn't line up with your original argument/gripe. You've essentially said 'another office block :rolleyes: that's two going up now'

Like I said, good talk

The examiner has a number of articles today on all the development...didn't release it they included a new hotel...(if only the airport was sorted to bring tourist directly in) great to see but soon there better be a development announced in relation to transport. if they are not careful we could turn cork into the new Galway.

Interesting. That would bring it through CIT though. Would it not make more sense to have the road go to the roundabout at the Dog Track ?

KCAccidental

It would take very little to develop the road that runs through leisureworld and CIT.

I'm pretty sure UCC are planning a huge development on that land and behind the dog track, could definitely have another road to link with curraheen through there.

It would also spell the end of the green belt between Bishopstown and Ballincollig, which is well overdue imo.

Being a bit pedantic here. Another officer block - I refer to to thread title and the one being constructed as I have mentioned before.

I don't have a gripe as I don't find going into the city enticing anyway and the construction of the proposed development at South Terrace/Copley Street will do little to change that.

Absolutely being pedantic but the one liners you were responding with weren't helpful in figuring out exactly what you meant - this post does just that - you've clarified your thoughts on it & fair play for that.

I do think the responses regarding other developments occurring in or around these office blocks enticing people to the city were solid counter arguments to yours, the convention centre should be huge for Cork, there's massive excitement about it. Anyway agree to disagree but I do appreciate the clarification.

Couldn't agree more on this and hopes to come to fruition sooner rather than later.

I wish we stopped calling all developments 'quarters'. Delusions of grandeur.

Yes, and close off all our public spaces too. Cause 'of the weather'.

This is just a concept correct? If the event centre goes ahead then this & a potential hotel on the site of the old Fas office would see a massive change to the city centre skyline

And the events center after 1 Albert key too. Great too see some big sites back again

After witnessing the flooding again yesterday morning, I wonder will this really start? are they going to raise the wall on the river to stop the water flowing into their shiny new building?

Check out the video on the Trinity Quarter website. The ground floor retail units are elevated above road level, you need to climb some steps to get into the building. If they install rails for a few of those metal shutters they have at the AIB building and the Imperial Hotel, they should be fine. The only troublesome things is the car park, but a bit of research on Google brought up several companies that produce watertight doors for that as well.

Just over three years gone since announced.Is it another white elephant like the Event Centre.Anyone have any update on it.

Most likely getting sufficient amount of tenants in place before commencing the build. I don’t think it’s in an as attractive a place as say Navigation House is.

There are a few of these around the city; along with this one there is Anderson Quay and Camden Quay, all announced about 3 years ago and no work done on any of them.

Strangely, I spotted demolition work going on at Camden Quay this morning. First time I had noticed anything in there in a verrrrry long time. Not sure if it was just a tiny bit of work or a sign that something was actually happening in there, though.

Quarter-this and Quarter-that. I suppose it makes a change from that other annoying buzz-word...'hubs'.

That's probably for the development in the old mckenzies place they had to keep the façade but everything else is gone.

When they is developments of offices to attract people to work in Cork I always wonder where they expect these people to live.
