The former Finbarr Galvin dealership at Victoria Cross has been closed for years

A vacant car dealership property will be demolished for a 7-storey accommodation block as An Bord Pleanala gives the go-ahead for the student housing project.
The former Finbarr Galvin Motor Dealership on Victoria Cross Road will be knocked to make space for a new housing block comprising 78 student apartments. The new accommodation will deliver over 200 new student beds about a kilometre from UCC.

The apartments will range in size from single-bedroom studio apartments to eight-bedroom apartments.

The company behind the project is Bellmount Developments, owned by the Kelleher brothers, whose portfolio includes a number of student accommodation projects in Cork including 20 apartments at the neighbouring Kelleher's Tyres site at Dennehys Cross and a block of 40 apartments at the former Kellehers Auto Centre on Wilton Road.

Bellmount Developments was established by Padraig and Seamus Kelleher in 2017. The company is behind a number of major regeneration projects across the city. In Shandon, they hope to transform two eyesore properties on Pope's Quay.

The Protected Structures at numbers 60 and 61 Shandon Street, which face out onto both Shandon Street, Pope's Quay and the short stretch of Farren's Quay, have been lying idle for years and years, falling into decay and trashed by neglect and graffiti.


Bellmount Developments has lodged plans to turn former The Left Bank bar, Lee Cabs and bakery building into nine new apartments. Meanwhile, the first works started earlier this year on 100 new homes in Blackpool. The two blocks - which go up to nine storeys high and deliver 114 new apartments - are at the site of the former Millfield Service Station ot Redforge Road.

It's taken them long enough to get to this obvious point, and i see the old JBC building is part of that. The only regret is there's no pub in that area anymore.

Is the rendezvous the closest?

Rendy would be the closest, apart from the Kingsley Hotel I suppose. But Dennehys, the Western Star and the Crows Nest are big losses.

They are going to build all 3 apartment schemes at the same time as this planning approval was the last piece of the jigsaw apparently.

Planning has been approved for a €100m cost-rental apartment scheme on Cork’s south docks which has been described as “the rebirth of city living”.
City councillors have approved the Part 8 planning for the 217-unit Railway Apartments scheme on the former Sextant bar site, which will include a 24-storey residential block which is set to become one of Ireland’s tallest buildings.
The apartments, which will have rents at least 25% below market rates, will be built on a site where private apartments were deemed non-viable just four years ago.
The project was revived thanks to an agreement between Cork City Council and the JCD Group and the new homes will be located on the sites of the former Sextant bar and Carey’s Tool Hire on Albert Quay.

Fresh proposals for the redevelopment of a former off-licence in Grange have been approved by Cork City Council.

In June, Authentic Homes Ltd lodged an application with the council seeking permission for the construction of an apartment block at the former Grange Stores site on Grange Road.

The application proposed the demolition of the single-storey detached building — formerly part off-licence and part dwelling — and the construction of a residential building of 16 apartments over ground, first and second floors, with a rooftop amenity area.

These apartments, the application said, would be made up equally of one-bed units and two-bed units.

The planning application also proposed the provision of car and motorcycle parking, bicycle parking, and site-development works.

The development proposed in June was to replace a previously permitted proposal to demolish and then to build nine residential units at the site.

I’m not a dentist but the proposed design (in this mock-up at least) seems devoid of any character. I’d sooner something overly whacky then terminally former eastern block-esque boring.
