InactiveIt’s the former Matheson Ormsby Prentice offices at 30 Herbert Street. Was built on the site of a small open space in the late 80s/early 90s. Ray Burke was implicated in the shenaigans surrounding it getting PP and it led to a change in how he Board of ABP is made up if I remember correctly. Am sure more on here will know more about it.

InactiveI think the late John Finnegan of Finnegan Menton and Brennan McGowan fame was also involved. I vaguely remember that he had acquired some Pembroke Estate lands.

InactiveI recall now that the space was known as ‘the plantation’ but I have never seen photos of this area. The whole saga gets a good write up in Frank MacDonald’s ‘Saving the City’ (1989 I think)which should be in all university libraries and still turns up in bookshops around town. I have also heard of the building being held up as a decent example of pomo architecture, which is debatable.
