These works are (on Mayor St Lower, at least) for the relocation of services, IIRC the LUAS itself will be on the southern half of the street, rather than the northern which is being worked on at the moment.
Ok thanks. I had an idea it was just preliminary works as there are no contractor / company notices anywhere.
Well i’m basing that on a leaflet they dropped into the apartment before they started digging up the street, the works on Mayor St Upper could be more substantial, I’m not sure.
One of the lift shafts went up another floor this afternoon. Having driven past the site the gap between the point and the district center is quite small now. Had me thinking surely one of those lift shafts is the tower!? Anyway the one that went up today actually makes that shaft look a little tall for a shopping center but maybe thats just the nature of the build ing – i dont know……..
the concrete piles don’t seem to be getting any taller here. i imagine if one were the watchtower it would be going up a lot faster.

A second crane on site and the point is coming down brick by brick.Things gathering pace on this site i m sure the watch tower will start to rise in the next couple of months.

According to an interesting articule in the current edition of Business and Finance magazine which focuses on all proposed highrises for Dublin, it said the Point Tower was waiting on a fire certificate before it could actually commence construction. So any existing construction or concrete shafts must relate to other buildings being built in the complex.

The property developers informd me today that construction on the tower has already started. 🙂
i hope it has started. we’ve all been waiting a long time for them to build it.

I agree it cant be long now before it starts going up. The site is a hive of activity now:
i can just about make out another (small) concrete pile to the right of the site going up. i wonder what that is?:)

:rolleyes: Sure has a quirky advertising campaign.
Here are the excavation works for the tower. You can see the Point Depot to the left.
The excavation works at the back of the truck must be for the escalators in Point Square.
And the District Centre

Does anyone know if they can excavate without a fire certificate for the tower (assuming they dont have one yet)? Or does the excavation mean everythings in order with the first lift shaft going up soon?
Morlan it may be difficult to gauge from where you took the picture but can ou say how advanced the excavation for the tower might be?:)
