The first dwellings are scheduled for delivery in 2030, and it is expected that the majority of the homes on the 0.6-acre local authority site at Anglesea Terrace will be affordable rental apartments.

According to Valerie O'Sullivan, CEO of Cork City Council, the project will revive the Anglesea Terrace neighbourhood.

"We look forward to publishing the design for the project shortly and I would encourage people to engage with the process so that we can deliver a development and community that works for everyone in the city."


In addition to recently released plans for 348 dwellings at a former ESB site in Wilton, the State's affordable housing organisation is scheduled to deliver the first of 267 homes at the location of the former St. Kevin's Hospital in Shanakiel later this year.

In addition, the State's affordable housing delivery organisation is working with BAM and Clarendon Properties to build 302 affordable rental apartments at Horgan's Quay.

The LDA is expanding its presence in Cork and is committed to increasing delivery in the city and suburbs, according to LDA Chief Executive John Coleman.
