Week ending 04/10/25: #CorkCraneCount: 16 🚨🚨 ⬆️1 🚨🚨. A crane went up in Blackpool near Neptune Stadium. I think for the apartment development pictured below.

I think that’s the crane that’s up there a while, now I look closer at the photo?

Thanks for letting me know. May I share the photo here and elsewhere?

Is that beside the other one? Slightly separate site?

Thanks for the update Conn.

Week ending 20/09/2025 #CorkCraneCount: 14. No change. Doesn’t look like much but work is well underway at the former CMP site. Cairn Homes. I think the general public are going to be surprised by the scale of this project. Currently working on southern end of site.

Week ending 13/09/2025 #CorkCraneCount: 14. No change. Progress continues on first 4 blocks at Marina Depot. Compare Monahan Rd Corner with the planned final building.

Lastly, we came back down to 15 with the first of the 3 cranes on Horgan’s Quay apartments removed. These topped out recently.

The tallest block will rise 9 storeys. There might be a second crane here shortly. These apartments are pretty close to the Mahon walkway and are just north of the older housing estate there.
