LDA Announces Plans For New Cork City Housing Development

Construction News Image
Plans to deliver over 140 affordable new homes in Cork city centre have been announced by the Land Development Agency (LDA).

Application for the homes, which will be developed on a 0.6-acre site at Anglesea Terrace in partnership with Cork City Council, will be submitted during the second half of 2025.

John Coleman, Chief Executive of the Land Development Agency, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Cork City Council to deliver much-needed affordable homes in the heart of Cork city.

"The LDA is steadily increasing its footprint in Cork and is determined to ramp up delivery in the city and its suburbs over the coming months and years.

"Anglesea Terrace is a fantastic site, with significant potential. I would like to thank Cork City Council for working with us on this project and for making its land available to address the city's pressing housing need.

"This project will revitalise an underutilised brownfield site in the centre of Cork, transforming it into a high quality, affordable and desirable residential development."

Located at the junction of Old Station Road and South Link Road, the site is within short walking distance of all city centre amenities, retail and community services, Kent Station and Cork Bus Station.

Subject to planning permission, construction could begin in 2027, with the first homes delivered in 2030. The exact numbers of homes has not been finalised, but it is likely to be just over 140 and it is anticipated that the majority of the homes will be cost rental apartments.

This planned project builds on the LDA's ongoing activity in Cork. The State's affordable housing body is set to deliver the first of 267 homes at the site of the former St. Kevin’s Hospital in Shanakiel later this year and recently published draft plans for 348 homes at a former ESB site in Wilton.

The Agency is also developing 302 cost rental apartments at Horgan’s Quay in partnership with BAM and Clarendon Properties.
