What is
Mahon Point 2.0?
We are proud to embark on a new and exciting phase. Final planning permission has now been granted by Cork City Council for our landmark mixed-use development, which will create a stunning new community, residential and commercial space for the local and wider Cork communities to enjoy.
The attractive development has been planned to have a sensitive impact on the local area and is inspired by the 15-minute city concept and is backed up by an extensive Environmental Impact Assessment, carried out by external consultants.
The mixed-use development will include improved cycle and pedestrian ways, large scale civic spaces and amenities for the local community. There will be a mix of demand-led new apartments, made up of one, two, three bed and family orientated homes. There will also be additional demand-led retail spaces, a multistorey car park and an office block.
Apartments and Office Block with 124 Parking Spaces
Families, couples and individuals could find their perfect home in one of the 251 state-of-the-art apartments being built at Mahon Point on an existing brownfield site.
Conveniently located close to the future Light Rail Transit (LRT) Terminal, offering increased connectivity for residents, there will be there will be a mix of demand-led apartments, made up of one, two, three bed and family orientated new homes, with 124 residential car park spaces. It will also feature a purpose-built crèche supporting 64 child places.
The apartments and office block will also be located in the site which was previously used for pop up events such as a Christmas ice-skating venue in the past. These plans support a key Government objective in the National Planning Framework 2040, that 50% of the population growth targeted should take place in existing urban and brownfield locations.

Sustainable Transport
There is a major focus on improved cycle and pedestrian ways and we continue to work with Cork City Council and other key stakeholders to ensure public transport plans are accommodated in our plans now and into the future. These include LRT (Light Rail Transit) facilities and Bus Connects initiatives which will facilitate increased connectivity for the local community to the public transport network locally and nationally. There will be a multistorey car park which will cater for 704 cars, which will be replacing one of the existing car parks.
