| 词条 | Atlantic Quarter |
| 释义 |
The Atlantic Quarter is the name given to mixed-use residential and commercial development which was proposed to be developed on a 5-hectare site in the docklands area of Cork city, in Ireland. The 2008 proposal included the planned development of three tower-blocks and a swing bridge over the River Lee. As of April 2017, the planned development has not been progressed.[1] ProposalsThe €1-billion development was originally launched on 6 March 2008, with the planning application lodged the following day,[2] and, if it were to be completed, would be the largest development ever planned for the city.[3] It was the first major planning application since the adoption by Cork City Council of the South Docks Local Area Plan on 11 February 2008.[4] The developers originally predicted that the complex would be complete by 2013.[5] The Atlantic Quarter was described as capable of rivalling Dublin's docklands area and acting as a counterweight to the International Financial Services Centre in Dublin and the Titanic Quarter in Belfast.[3] Ireland's Enterprise Minister, Micheál Martin, welcomed the project.[3] LocationThe proposed site of the development is to the east of Cork City Centre, on the south bank of the River Lee, at the former Ford Motor Company Distribution site in the "Marina Precinct" of the South Docks. The proposed site is bounded by Centre Park Road to the north, a link road to the west, Monahan's Road to the south,[6] and adjoins the Páirc Uí Chaoimh stadium.[3] DeveloperThe developer, Howard Holdings, is a Cork-based property company whose earlier City Quarter project is regarded{{Weasel-inline|date=August 2012}} as the first regeneration project to take place in Cork's docklands.[7] The principal architect proposed for the project was London-based Foster and Partners, with other design work by Patel Taylor, Scott Tallon Walker, Wilkinson Eyre, Urban Strategies Inc. (Toronto), HKR Architects, Mitchell and Associates, Arup, WYG, DLPKS and Cunnane Stratton Reynolds.[7] BuildingsThe proposed 1bn euro mixed-use project planned to include:[8]{{dead|date=August 2017}}
The swing bridge which was proposed in the plans[7] was provisionally named the Eastern Gateway bridge.[9] Greg Coughlan of Howard Holdings said the bridge was essential for the project to proceed. The developer would design the structure, but requested that the Irish government fund the bridge's €80 million construction cost.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url = http://www.irishexaminer.com/business/property/15-million-allocated-by-government-for-cork-docklands-development-448979.html | publisher = Irish Examiner | title = €15 million allocated by Government for Cork docklands development | date = 29 April 2017 | quote = "many ambitious schemes such as The Atlantic Quarter [..] fell by the wayside during the great recession and now occupy prominent positions in the annals of Unbuilt Cork" }} {{coord missing|County Cork}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.corkcity.ie/docklands/events/atlantic_quarter_application.shtml |title=Atlantic Quarter Planning Application |date=7 March 2008 |work=Cork City Council website |accessdate=2008-03-28 }}{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/national-news/ifsc-to-get-euro1bn-rival-in-cork-1308901.html|title=IFSC to get €1bn rival in Cork|author=Ralph Riegel|date=7 March 2008|work=The Irish Independent|accessdate=2008-03-28}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.corkcity.ie/docklands/planning/adopted_southdocks.shtml |title=South Docks Local Area Plan |work=Cork City Council website |accessdate=2008-03-28 }}{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 5. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2008/0307/1204815361813.html|title=Plans unveiled for €1bn project to regenerate Cork docklands|author=Barry Roche|date=7 March 2008|work=The Irish Times|accessdate=2008-03-28}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://planning.corkcity.ie/InternetEnquiry/rpt_ViewApplicDetails.asp?validFileNum=1&app_num_file=0832919 |title=Atlantic Quarter Planning Application Ref: T.P. 08/32919 |date=7 March 2008 |work=Cork City Council website |accessdate=2008-03-28 }}{{dead link|date=July 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 7. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2008/03/09/story30994.asp |title=Howard Holdings in talks with Hilton group over Cork hotel |author=Neil Callanan |date=9 March 2008 |work=Sunday Business Post |accessdate=2008-03-28 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100517082326/http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2008/03/09/story30994.asp |archivedate=17 May 2010 |df= }} 8. ^http://www.britannica.com/bps/additionalcontent/18/34311788/ATLANTIC-QUARTER-PROMISES-TO-TRANSFORM-CORKS-DOCKLANDS 9. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/text/story.asp?j=kfididgbgbkfauau&p=y886643x&n=18866440|title=City vision to swing into docklands|author=Tommy Barker|date=7 March 2008|work=The Irish Examiner|accessdate=2008-03-28}} 1 : Proposed buildings and structures in the Republic of Ireland |
