Re: Re: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ?

Firstly there isnt a hope of 18 storeys even being considered for this part of town. However they should definitely take a closer look at the rest of the masterplan. As it stands, this is a pretty depressing part of the city centre, especially Upper Gerald Griffin Street and Sexton Street. These streets are simply crying out for investment and despite the huge building boom in Limerick over the last 15 years or so, they have remained practically untouched. It seems the only hope for regenerating this area is a comprehensive masterplan like this.

The aerial images show just how underutilised this area is, the core of the site basically consists of sheds and off-street parking!
