A 25-story residential tower in Cork is set to become the tallest apartment block in Ireland. The Railyard, developed by housing charity Cluid, is positioned as a permanent housing solution rather than temporary accommodation. The project aims to ensure residents have stable, long-term living conditions.
Cluid, a housing charity based in Cork, has emphasized that the Railyard is not just a building but a commitment to providing sustainable housing. The organization states that transitional housing often leads to instability, and the Railyard is designed to avoid this. The building will include a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments.
The development is part of a broader initiative by Cluid to address housing insecurity in the region. The charity has been working on several housing projects in Cork, focusing on creating communities where residents can live without fear of displacement. The Railyard is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
The need for permanent housing in Cork has grown due to rising rents and limited availability. Cluid’s approach reflects a shift in housing policy, prioritizing stability over short-term solutions. The Railyard represents a new model for affordable, long-term housing in Ireland.
