Don’t think much of this but lightyears better than the block to the left of it.

I don’t think much of it much myself – the corner feature is a bit meaningless (is it supposed to relate to the Calatrava Bridge, which is beyond the next building?).

The former Phoenix Cinema is part of the holding. They originally sought to demolish it for the new development. An Taisce Dublin City expressed concern, mainly because of – as Thomas Cooley says – the unusual interior. It was subsequently retained. The exterior is very plain, but in old photos you can see that it had plaster decoration.
