Pretty sure Murray O’Laoire designed the apartments at Lord Edward St!!! and BTW stands for By the way!
That’s what makes them all the more disappointing – i’d be tearing my hair out if I had any. Surely we could have expected so much better from that practice?
You have to bear in mind that Planning was granted for a development next door as well but has not started and maybe that is why you feel it is a bit sore. The developement is not finished and the copper finish has not yet been applied. Give it a chance and it might just grow on you! Remember that such a developemnt provides much needed security for the Park itself!
Well that’s fantastic news – nothing was making sense until now, – the photomonatage, the timber cladding looking things etc. thanks for the clarification. I realise that the building’s presence could potentially benefit the park, but it would be reassuring to know that, that is by design rather than coincidence. It sure would be nice to get the views out of that penthouse. Is there going to be a mix of apartment types then? I hope it gets built soon because as it stands – well enough has been said on that!
Do ye not think Annacotty is being overdeveloped considering. Has lost it’s rural character is u ask me with suburban style anywhere housing estates on its perimeter. Won;t be long until it’s part of Castletroy sprawl
Don’t really know the area too well, and was only there at night, so apart from the view from the main road it’s difficult to know what the place is really like. Guess suburbia is inevitable in this age and if it happens well it’s usually better if it’s stuck on to an existing village rather than growing out of nothing. In the mean time here’s a few photos from my archive for anyone still unfamiliar with Limerick –
there is a very good article from roughly 2 months ago at http://www.limerick-leader.ie/issues/20050604/index.html and it’s worth a read. i don’t know if it was posted before by anyone else but i just found it interesting. this thread is big and it would take too long to look. 🙂
Good article alpha and what interesting stuff. I like the picture too. It looks good. It’s amazing that now it is almost complete people are begining to like it. I like it myself.
I was watching the RTE News several months ago and I saw an article about Limerick having 3 of the countries tallest buildings in the near future. We all know about the Clarion Hotel and Riverpoint but what will be the 3rd? Are they talking about Newton House or something else? I hope this 3rd one they are talking about is not Newton. I’d prefer somthing as tall as the other two. Then again they could be talking about 3 different buildings we haven’t even heard of yet. This article was in the news before Heuston Gate was granted planning permission. Info would be much appreciated.
🙂 🙂 Sorry that I haven’t been around lately.
I’m really impressed with the amount of building going on in Limerick at the moment 🙂
I was at the Crescent last week, and the extension is almost finished,H&M are looking for recriuts and next and pennys is moving to the new part.
Does anyone have any word on the parkway redevelopment???
As I was heading back into town, I noticed the Riverpoint tower look even more impressive when seeing it at that angle of town, I really hope to see a few other high rise proposals in the Docklands, as this works well if there is a small cluster,
The new apartments beside Pery Park, looks all right to me, I have seen worse……….
If they were a few other newish or significant buildings near it, it would blend in more.Also the Bedford row redevelopment is really moving fast! 🙂 The entire block is down to rubble, and seeing the mass scale of it, also is mind blowing, considering its still a rather newish building! 😮
The pedstrianisation and enhancement of Bedford row will be finished as part of the hotel =, shops and apartments.
Can anyone tell me what’s going up beside the new Bank of Scotland building, or is still part of the same building, :confused:The hotel on the O’callaghan strand should be starting soon, does anyone know much about that.
I have to say (Not from Limerick) I Find Limerick a safe city, and a lot safer than media make out, I’m quite happy browsing around the city and just admiring it…
And….
I spotted lay-bys and a boardwalk! At the abbey river near Barrington’s house, it quite nice to see it 🙂
news…..
The Mary I extension has gut the thumbs up , and should start very soonthere is a building on Henry street that under investment , and i can;t remember which one 😀 I’ll try update on that because it was a significant building , but i can’t remember where?

vey true. people knock things but then when they are built their attitude changes. having said that… that is not true with all buildings. for example hawkin’s house should never have been built. the same goes for college house. they have no style whatsoever. my attitude to those particular buildings will always be the same, yuck. lol. i am looking forward to hawkin’s house being demolished. the sooner the better. staying with limerick though, it’s nice to see this city starting to build up. i wonder what it will be like in 20-30 years? i haven’t been to limerick in a while but i should check it out soon. i want to see these new changes in this city. 😉
That looks fairly logical and it not only reflects much actual expansion over the past decade it would also give Limerick City a chance to expand without loss of control to local authorities with contrary objectives.

As far as i’m aware of
Is the St munchins house (rather ugly office building) will be replaced when the dep of agric. move premises for the reconstruction
that will be 12 storeys.
part of the bedford row redev. will be 10 storeys
the new hotel on the ennis road will be 12 storeysother than that , I’m not to sure but , I wouldn’t be surprised if yet a bigger and better skyscraper to popp up!
areas around the old race course and dock road are waiting to be…Just a thought. it would be nice to see a residential tower on the other side of the shannon close to the bridges 🙂
