Paul/ Alpha,
That looks familiar. If I think that’s on the Northside of the river a little bit down from the Financial services centre.
it’s the southside, between grand canal dock and the river
just saw this link when i was making sure it is called grand canal dock
http://gtx2.net/archives/2004_05_01_ those buildings look like they’re in the spot where that highrise block of flats was proposed!i had a feeling myself that those two (santry hall and belgard square west) were the only ones under construction. i wish they’d get a move on with alto vetro. it is taking such a long time to go to construction there.
The development in the photo above (http://gtx2.net/archives/2004_05_01_) is called “Dock Mill”; it’s designed by BKD (http://www.bkd.ie/ – click on Projects – Commercial – Barrow St.) and developed by Ashdew Ltd.and is the result of planning application 2409/00. The Montevetro tower will go on the small empty site between there and the train station; this is clear(ish) from the rendering: http://www.treasuryholdings.ie/development/project_detail.asp?id=37&category=Residential&cat=1
Arrived into Dun Laoghaire on the HSS on Friday, a trip I had not done for years. Amazing skyline, nothing but cranes from Sandyford to City Centre. Sandyford and Merrion Gates developments particularly apparent.
sandyford and merrion gate? what are they building there? is it something tall? 🙂

are both of these proposals actually under construction right now though? i am very interested in the first link you mention… (the 23 storey tower). if they are under construction, i didn’t know that.
it’s a pitty the 23 storey sandyford tower isn’t the one under construction right now. i quite like it.

i haven’t been in that area in years so i wouldn’t know. if the 23 storey tower is under construction as we speak i am shocked. 😮

I asked the question a couple of weeks ago… “how many highrise buildings are under construction in Dublin at present?” I was told none except for the ones I mentioned… Santry Hall and Belgard Square West. Now it appears that a 23 storey tower is presently under construction in Sandyford. Am I right? I can see why alpha is confussed. I am confussed myself. :confused:
I’m not sure if construction on the Sandyford Tower has started yet; I’d be suprised if it has.
Other developments in Sandyford include 140 new apartments on the 7.7 acre site beside the Luas station with plans to build 600 more apartments on the site in the future. The height of the new development will range from six to 15 storeys.
That could be it, i don’t know. I thought KerryBog2 said it was visible on the ferry in! Haven’t seen anything myself.
Don’t get carried away folks, I commented on the number of cranes visible from the sea coming in from the Kish Lighthouse, not any high buildings. Is there a definition of “high” i.e. storeys for a building in Ireland? I spent 5 years living on the 26th flooor in NYC, so anything less would be a come-down (sorry)
I’m not sure if construction on the Sandyford Tower has started yet; I’d be suprised if it has.
I work in the sandyford industrial estate and pass by the site every day. The clearing of the old office block hasn’t started yet, never mind construction of the 23 storey tower.
it did seem to good to be true.
i heard that there is a highrise building going into royal canal park dublin! i saw a picture of it in todays sunday independant! is this true? it is not much to look at. it has no style. check out http://www.royalcanalpark.com for details. follow the explore link and then click on town square.
There isn’t even a functioning e-mail tab let alone a link on that site
