    This has been approved by Dublin City Council; it is an absolute certainty that it will be appealed against.

    It looks kind of strange along there at the moment, the way parts of the old walls of the demolished buildings still front onto the streets.

    It still has to get through the inevitable appeal, and then there is no guarantee that it will be built – full permission exists for office towers at Tara St. Station and Sir John Rogerson’s Quay with no sign of them being started.

    There will be serious construction complications with Tara St with it being so close to a rail line, but I see that the new tenant in the principal building is CIE enginering, so that at least indicates that it will probably be built eventually.

    As for JR Quay, no-one seems to know whats going to happen with the U2 tower. The OMS scheme it appears is dead, and Dublin is very much the loser on that one.

    I’m not so sure on the design quality of this one, the height is fine if not a little conservative for the site but it fails to deliver the wow factor in the way that the Gherkin for pure cheek or the shard for pure form delivered in London.

    Shame about the OMS scheme – t’would have looked great in that part of the city.

    Something is happening at last with the U2 Tower, there is a tender document on http://www.ddda.ie for engineering services.

    Great !

    It says the Deadline is Oct/Nov and the contract is awarded in December. Which means we may know if it will be approved by Spring of 2005?

    Surely this building is a gateway due to the fact that it will be the first seen on exiting the Dublin Port Tunnel?

    Looking at the images in Todays SBP I might have been a bit harsh on this one, but the carparking provision being sought is off the wall at 1100 spaces.
