Looks like there is another shaft going up further down toward the point.
Dunnes Strores to anchor shopping center:
Drove past today, alot of activity there now, and the second lift shaft has a tower crane being built next to it…..;)
Hey there…not been vocal on here in a while, but I know for a fact (I know someone involved) that the lift shafts currently under construction are for the District Centre. Work on the Tower itself is due to commence quite soon though too. As mentioned before, they are still waiting for to sort Fire Cert.
Wow, Lots of construction going on in this pic, that’s a lot of concrete shafts for the district centre, how many stories is it supposed to be anyway? And we have a tower crane up!
35 storeys high the tower will be. It says it will be 120m however I suspect that it may well be a little higher.

Distric Centre is 6 floors with one setback.
Judging by the camera angle, these lift shafts are for the Distrct Centre
Aye, 185 meters to be precise. U2 tower is only 25m from the river.

That kind of compromises the whole ‘gateway’ concept, but maybe that’s not so bad. But there should be a great view of the point tower up that street there, whatever it’s called.
As I’ve said elsewhere previously:

(Also, Morlan- you know that’s a live link to the DCC traffic camera you’ve put in there, I presume? ;))
I have my doubts now that that is the district centre.Must be the tower.Are they only building one side of the district centre first in that case.It definitely looks to high now.I eat my words if i m wrong of course

Yep, will be worth the 12 Euro tunnel toll when flying home to skip depressing Dorset street and see this instead :p

Yes, it should be a fantastic view from Harbourmaster Place with the tower terminating the street 1.3km away. It will be one of the longest linear streets in Ireland.
A perspective from Mayor Street Upper & the Spencer Dock development.
And another view from Mayor Sq.
View from Grand Canal Dock.

No probs 🙂
dublincity.ie doesn’t show all availalbe cameras for some reason. You can access all of them here: http://dublintraffic.com/cameras.htm@Morlan wrote:

And more good news – work seems to have begun on Luas. The route is sectioned off all the way from Connolly down to the Point.
Pics below show Upper Mayor Street and Lower Mayor Street.
