With the city's population forecast to grow over the coming decades, bringing vacant buildings back into use has never been more important.

Speakers to be announced!

Ireland is facing an unprecedented housing challenge, and Cork has a critical role to play. With the city's population forecast to grow significantly over the coming decades, bringing vacant and underutilised buildings back into use has never been more important.

Across Cork city, many upper floors and properties remain empty while demand for quality housing continues to rise. This event will bring together business and property owners, investors, developers and industry experts to explore how these buildings can be transformed into high-quality homes that deliver both strong commercial returns and lasting benefits for the city.

Attendees will gain practical guidance on the grants, incentives and expert supports available to help unlock the potential of vacant and derelict properties. With funding available for eligible projects, this is an opportunity to understand how these schemes can make property redevelopment more viable and profitable.

Whether you already own property, are considering investing, or simply want to better understand the opportunities within Cork's evolving property market, this event will provide valuable insights, expert advice and the chance to connect with professionals who are actively delivering successful regeneration projects.
