At least they chose the younger Elvis, not the sequinned Las Vegas one.

lmao

There are a couple of small cranes beside the point – looks like enabling works to me. No pics. Getting information on the tower itself is like pulling teeth,

This is the best I can find and even it is out of date with the tower design.

There is nothing on the Scott Tallon Walker site either.

If anyone else digs up anything else please post it!;)

Im also very confused at exactly what is suppose to be finished by 2009 – the shopping center, the tower, the point???????

great news.

Saw the lift shaft today but is it the actual tower though?

The plans suggest it is the tower! Irelands first 35 storey has started!?:D :rolleyes: 🙂

Lets hope its better then the renders 😀

I most defo would consider this as news. 😀

Normally you would be right, however this is Ireland and in Ireland we have been waiting a long while now for these 30+ floor building to actually start being constructed and not be stuck on the plans like U2 and Heuston etc.

Now quick, wheres my defibrillator. Ouch that hurts . Quick give me that laughing gas…. Ahhhhhhhhh yes thats better.:D

You would probrably realise the significance when the lift shaft reaches a certain height. I think its great news:) (assuming of course it is the tower which were not 100% sure but anyway…). It could be the building to the right of the tower – the shopping center? http://www.mcnamaraconstruction.com/experience/projects.asp?id=108&proj_section=2

Passed there yesterday – looks like the district centre to me – sorry skyscraper fans

I know someone working on this project,they are still completing the fire cert for the tower-its not due to start until the end of september

Are you sure you not thinking of Heuston Gate? They are also waiting for their fire certificate.

Yeah had a look today at the site.Initially i thought it was the tower.Its a fairly significant looking lift shaft but according to the plans it looks like it may be further away from the road than that.Its surprising considering the builder is on site since late last year one would have thought the tower would be priority and that a fire cert would not be holding up construction.If the current shaft levels go up another couple of levels then you would have to assume its the tower.Although those cranes dont look like they would be suitable to go higher with the shaft’.
Also seen as Hueston Gate was mentoned is there a builder on site and is this now due to start soon?
