    I think the competition being run by the DDDA for their U2 associated building has several things suspect about it – the fact that they don’t mention a 100m building around the corner is hardly surprising.

    Found this in Google:

    “PROPERTY
    An Bord Pleanála has granted planning permission for a major development at Sir John Rogerson’s Quay in Dublin, the centrepiece of which will be a 96-metre tower block, making it Ireland’s tallest building. The applicant was the property company Dunloe Ewart but its chairman, Noel Smyth, says he now has to convince his board to proceed with the development. His plan is to start with an apartment block on one part of the site and it will be at least two years before the tower materialises. “

    …and since Noel Smith is long gone – the tower has probably left with him (sniff sniff).

    Does anyone have any news or inside information on this building? Are there any plans for a commencement date on construction?

    Given the recent U2 building decision, this is my last hope for Dublin!

    I thought the west elevation of the Zoe/Dunloe Ewart building implied some semblence of architectural form which would have been conducive to a landmark building, visually terminating the quay. The east elevation however reveals a confused hodge podge of forms and proportions. This, coupled with the stumpy “twisted torso” U2 “tower” at the quay edge merely demonstrate the incompetance of planners who have squandered 2 wonderful opportunities to develop a worthwhile building in this painfully conservative city…….Oh what they would have done in Paris!!

    true. tara street is a two year wait. as for the other, i don’t know but i’d say it will be some wait. that’s if it is even built!

    I read somewhere that there are plans for this site now.

    The walls may be featureless but the form looks very well from College St looking up Pearse St.

    I believe Tara Street may have been cancelled.

    There was a site notice on the property last week applying for alterations, although the changes sought looked quite minor it wasn’t dated.

    Does anyone know anything more about the Sir John Rogerson’s Quay development? Has it officially been scrapped? Its still listed on OMS architects website.

    As far as I know nothing at all has happened with it. Someone correct me, though, if I’m wrong.

    Now that JR Quay is largely complete which of the buildings below do people feel would be most appropriate or should the Quay feature both?

    Its one or the other in my opinion – And I prefer the U2 tower by a LONG way. That rendering of the other tower looks revolting…

    I’d have to go with the U2 tower. The image above from that view looks a cumbursome pile plonked on the quayside. It’s not very attractive. The newer rendering of the U2 tower makes it somewhat more elegant, what the building above lacks.
