The Atrium
The most prominent building on the estate. A feature atrium runs through the centre, and each floor is subdivided into a range of suites reached from a central core with two lifts serving every floor. Retail occupies the ground level.
Offices in Cork, under 1.5km from the city centre, with free parking at the door.
Blackpool Business Campus is where over 1,700 people go to work. Over sixty-five organisations are based here — software and telecoms companies, consulting engineers and architects, clinical research and healthcare, solicitors and accountants, state bodies and national charities.
All of the offices sit above the shops in Blackpool Retail Park, one of Munster's largest mixed use schemes. Blackpool Shopping Centre is a separate development next door, a short stroll across the site, for everything else.

The buildings
Six office buildings, each with its own entrance and its own character.
Heron House
Modern offices over 2,008 sq. m of retail at ground and mezzanine level, with its own entrance off the Retail Park.
River House
A mixed-use building with offices above ground-floor retail, including a bank and a choice of places to eat directly downstairs.
Park House
The one stand-alone office building on the estate, on the edge of the Retail Park behind the cinema, with a gym at ground level.
Bowler House
A smaller external block adjoining the north mall entrance, with Blackpool Library occupying the upper floors and retail at street level.
Blackpool House
Offices on the upper floors above three ground-floor retail units, beside the north mall entrance, with surface parking around it.
Who is here
The campus has grown into a mixed community rather than a single-sector park, which is part of why it works.

Why Blackpool
-
Free parking, and plenty of it
1,800 free spaces across three car parks. The multi-storey alone holds 804 of them, on the floors above the Retail Park, with two lifts serving every level. No permits and no monthly charge.
-
Accessibility
Blackpool sits under 1.5km north of Cork city centre at the junction of the N20 and the North Ring Road, which puts the ring road and the motorway network within easy reach. Routes 203 and 248 stop at the Shopping Centre itself; the 215 and the 207A stop a short walk away on Dublin Street and at Blackpool Church.
-
Everything downstairs, and more next door
The Retail Park underneath has a supermarket, a pharmacy, a bank, coffee shops and a six-screen cinema. The Shopping Centre across the site adds a second supermarket, more pharmacies and banks, the post office, a gym and the public library.
-
Room to grow
Suites range from single rooms to whole floors, and occupiers have moved between the campus buildings as they have grown rather than moving off the estate.
