Dawn Meats redevelops Cork site into 400 home housing project
Dawn Meats Backs 400 Home Development on Former Cork Site
Irish meat processor Dawn Meats has partnered with property developer Bluemont to build more than 400 homes on an unused site near Midleton in County Cork. This Dawn Meats Cork development is expected to provide much needed housing in the area.
According to reporting by Irish Independent, construction is already under way at the Water Rock site. The first homes are expected to come to market in September 2026.
The project represents a redevelopment of land previously owned by Dawn Meats. It also highlights how surplus industrial sites are increasingly being repurposed for housing development in Ireland.
Dawn Meats generates annual revenues of more than €3 billion. The company has recently expanded its international footprint. This includes the acquisition of a 65% stake in New Zealand meat cooperative Alliance Group in December 2025.
