The hole being dug for the new Gaiety Centre development is simply enormous – one of the deepest excavations you’re likely to see in the city, especially adjoining existing (old!) buildings. It seems they’re going down at least a whopping three storeys – no doubt partly in compensation for the loss of (originally ridiculous) height proposed for this development. At least one of these basement levels is to be retail/commercial.

These pictures don’t remotely do justice to how far down they’ve gone – you really have to see it on site. I’d be a bit wary if I owned the Gaiety! (also note its chic new flytower above).

Is there parking planned for under here too?
