Cork City apartment development to reserve 70 units for local workers

Seventy units in a new apartment development in Cork City will be ringfenced for people who work within a five-mile radius of Horgan's Quay, the Irish Examiner reported. The overall development consists of 302 units and represents the first large-scale apartment scheme built in the city in almost 20 years. [1]

According to the Irish Examiner, the housing initiative is designed to bring employees closer to their workplaces, reduce commuting times and costs, and build a sense of community as Cork expands into its docklands area. The Horgan's Quay scheme is part of the largest urban regeneration project in Ireland. [1]

Cork is the second-largest city in the Republic of Ireland, the largest city in Munster, and the third-largest city on the island of Ireland. At the 2022 census, the city had a population of 224,004 people. [2]
