There are plans for "one of the largest residential projects in Cork in recent times" to be built in Waterfall, just outside Bishopstown.
Property developer, Bridgewater Homes, announced this morning that it had bought land there for 10.2 million euro.
The development will consist of 136 houses, 99 apartments, and 40 duplexes, with a total value 123.6 million euro.
It will be made up of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom properties, ranging from 2 to 4 storeys.
A diverse range of housing options are planned with 28 one-bedroom houses, 92 two-bedroom houses, 34 three-bedroom houses, 18 two-bedroom duplex units, 34 three-bedroom duplex units, 8 two-bedroom apartments, and 26 three-bedroom apartments.
Planning Permission for the development was granted in March 2022 and construction is expected to take around 30 months.
In a statement to RedFM News, Cork homebuilder Bridgewater Homes says it will offer "a balanced mix of housing options to create a vibrant and inclusive community for individuals and families".
The development will also include a new crèche, a number of family-friendly neighbourhood play areas - as well as pedestrian and cycle facilities.
It will be the largest-scale residential development in the Bishopstown area in the past three decades.
