Haha, true that.
please excuse my language, but fuck that looks cool:D
Even if it wont be built!
holy lamplight batman!!! that is one amazing looking tower. Are they serious about it? conjsidering these difficult times? Sure would be a giant leap forward for Dublin kind.
Is it really supposed to resemble a pint ?
Umm, they just ripped it from the other side of the river:confused:
Is it just a nice mock-up plan or what might be done, or have they been asked to draw up designs for it as they’re willing to go ahead and build a high rise at this time?

to go with the keg;)
and the tap otherwise known as the bridgeImpressive.
All renders were taken from treasury holdings website in development and investment section. Wether they get planning permission or not is another thing, but in line with ddda plans for 7/8 100m highrise buildings at the docklands!!!!!:cool: Highrise plan is Replacing there old plan for the site.
wasn’t a fan of the old proposal just a big glass block basically but the pint glass thing is definately impressive. Hope it goea ahead
The ‘Pint-at-the-Point’?
Sorry, couldn’t help it.
(c) Gerrit Gillespie Photography – Buenos Aires, ArgentinaTen years of bullshit proposals for ‘Landmark’ towers around the city. Why couldn’t we just have allocated one area in the North Lotts for highrise? So much bickering has left us with nothing but low density business parks.

Maybe its not too late Morlan, there is still alot of land on the north lotts for future high rise development!!!
Lol, love archipig’s pint allusion, and missarchi’s keg which the nat convention centre does resemble in such context.
In fairness folks, this is never going to be built and we know it. Worse actually than realising it’s not going to be built would be to grant it permission knowing this, which would up the speculation value of the land – and nothing at all would get built, as an unrealisable price gets fixed to the site.
Still, the drawings looked nice 😉
Die pessimist -_-
Tbh though, the market here is not forever dead, odd to see so many people reacting the way they are when recession is such a natural part of the capitalist philosophy, it even serves a purpose – an important one. This recession may be worse than others, but in the long term its just part of the process. This may be hard to accept when your job is on the line, but when we’re talking about shiny pint-objectified runner-up jewels as above, its not totally inconducive to their development which is long term also. Might not be built soon, but the market will inevitably recover and with it will developers appetite for profit-making ego-boosters, which is a sure thing, and this tower just happens to cover both bases.
Dont get me wrong, I am not a proponent of the ultra-capitalist model, I believe in Europes semi-socialism. I also use too many hyphen-words 😛
