A Cork story.

For more than a century, the mill has stood at the edge of the River Lee — shaped by industry, engineering and generations of people who worked on the docks.

Today

The Next Chapter

The historic structure becomes the centrepiece of a new Cork city neighbourhood.

A New Chapter

From historic mill to contemporary living.
