Work begins on 149 new apartments at Jacob’s Island in €750m Cork development
The long-term McCarthy Developments’ vision to turn Jacob’s Island into a gateway urban quarter took another step forward this week as OBR Construction commenced work on 149 cost-rental apartments. A 165-bed hotel is on hold, pending more certainty about Cork City’s planned event centre.
The €750m development of Jacob’s Island into a neighbourhood-scale Cork city suburban destination picked up pace this week as work got underway to build 149 apartments.
The latest phase in the ambitious multi-phase Mahon peninsula project follows on from the official opening last month of the Crawford Centre, an apartment block that delivered 69 social homes, a creche and three ground-floor retail units.
