Summary:
- BAM is considering a purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) project on a long-idle riverside site at Sullivan’s Quay in Cork, following the expiration of previous mixed-use hotel and office planning permissions that stalled after the financial crash and planning breaches.
- The city’s growing third-level student population, which has increased by an estimated 6,000 over the past decade, supports demand for PBSA, complementing BAM’s recent completion of the 420-bed Lee Point student scheme nearby.
- Cork city centre is undergoing significant regeneration, with over €25 million invested in public realm improvements around South Main Street and Grand Parade, enhancing connectivity and pedestrian access near BAM’s Sullivan’s Quay and Beamish sites.
