Period building in Cork for €950,000

A substantial period building overlooking the river Lee at the southern end of Grand Parade in Cork is to be offered for sale at around €950,000.

Lisney say the four-storey vacant building extending to 1,226sq m (13,625sq ft) had been in office use for over 30 years and would now be ideal for conversion into a restaurant, bar, leisure or retail complex.

The ground floor area runs to 453sq m (4,877sq ft) and includes a handsome reception area. A separate entrance at street level leads to the upper floors.

The Grand Parade building is adjacent to the former Beamish & Crawford brewery site which is due to be redeveloped into an event centre, with construction work due to get under way early in 2016. The building is also adjacent to the Nano Nagle footbridge.
