Site and context

The site comprised a former furniture shop situated in the city centre of Cork, on the river Ley. The building was a protected structure which our planning application catered for by way of retaining the existing facade. The city is thriving with students from both University College Cork (UCC) and Cork Institute of Technology (UCT).

Proposals

This mixed use development comprised 209-beds with co-working space and a cafe.

Current status

We were granted consent by Cork City Council in March 2018. Round Hill Capital delivered the project with John Paul Construction for the start of the 2022 academic year. 

It is now known as Broga House and managed by Nido Student.
