It’s an ideal location for families.

Now, a further 300 new, A-rated affordable homes are set to be built in Cork’s Docklands after the Land Development Agency (LDA) and BnM completed the transfer of land at Monahan Road.

The 2.08 hectare site is well located and positioned on the preferred route for Cork Luas, which includes the Docklands and Páirc Uí Chaoimh Luas stops, both of which are close to the site. The proposed route runs directly in front of the Monahan Road.

A portion of the site will be utilised by Cork City Council to accommodate road widening works, to aid connectivity along Monahan Road with the addition of bus lanes and increased cycle lane provision. Future development on the site will also benefit from views onto, and access to, Marina Park.

A new neighbourhood under construction 

The planned development of the site will add to the LDA’s ongoing activity in Cork, where, already, close to 1,400 homes are either in planning or already under construction.

Also in the Docklands, the LDA has partnered with Glenveagh at Marina Depot, where 337 new homes are under construction. That development is situated across the road from the BnM site. A further 302 apartments are being delivered at Horgan’s Quay in partnership with BAM and Clarendon Properties.

Valerie O’Sullivan, Chief Executive of Cork City Council, said: “This is a very welcome step forward for the continued development of Cork Docklands and the delivery of much-needed homes in the city.

“The Monahan Road site is ideally located, with strong public transport links and excellent amenities, including Marina Park. Cork City Council looks forward to continuing its engagement with the LDA as this project progresses, alongside key infrastructure improvements that will further enhance connectivity in the area.”
