Everything about The Atlantic Quarter totally explained
The
Atlantic Quarter is a proposed mixed-use residential and commercial development of 12 buildings on a 5-hectare site in the docklands area of
Cork city, in
Ireland. The proposal includes three tower-blocks and a new
swing bridge over the
River Lee.
The €1-billion development was launched on
6 March 2008, with the planning application lodged the following day, and is the largest development ever planned for Cork. It was the first major planning application since the adoption by
Cork City Council of the South Docks Local Area Plan on
11 February 2008. The Council's decision on the application is due on
1 May 2008. If planning permission is granted, the developers predict that it'll be complete by 2013.
Atlantic Quarter has been described as capable of rivalling Dublin's docklands area and acting as a counterweight to the
International Financial Services Centre in Dublin and the
Titanic Quarter in
Belfast.
The principal architect is London-based
Foster and Partners, with other design work by Patel Taylor,
Scott Tallon Walker, Wilkinson Eyre, Urban Strategies, HKR Architects, Mitchell and Associates,
Arup, White Young Green, DLPKS and Cunnane Stratton Reynolds. Greg Coughlan of Howard Holdings said the bridge was essential for the project to proceed. The developer would design the structure, but wants the
Irish government to fund the bridge's €80 million construction cost.
