    There does seem to be a lot of open space in this area to accommodate such buildings. I was out there recently and was pleased to see what is happening. One of those buildings that they are working on at the moment is massive. It’s the perfect spot.

    I agree, an excellent landbank in a great posistion and plenty of land. Strange for such a large schme there is little or no information on it. Typically the 16 storey building is being appealed however I think this area is suited to such development and the hotel thats nearly completed does look very impressive:rolleyes:

    Looking at the map, showing the interchanges that Rossbrien interchange looks like a more intelligent layout compared to the woefully designed roundabout interchanges we have become use to. Dont know why these roads arent labelled as motorway though as there well up to standard:confused: There are no ‘M’ roads planned near or within Limerick at all.

    It astonishes me as to why we must build on such a rejectionist scale 😡

    Is it this? It isn’t 16 floors though :/

    No morlan that is not it. Its at the M1/M50 junction on the n32 side. You cant miss it, the large Bewleys hotel nearly finished there. Its a huge development which funny enough I cant find much info on.

    really? what’s this mate? you have gotten my attention. so is that going ahead for real? i guess that area would be ok for a highrise as it already has ballymun close by. i have only ever seen the new santry hall building from a distance. i would love to see it up close. maybe some day…

    Its part of the ‘Airport City’ development. It got permission from Fingal Co Co but someone appealed it to board pleanala. I read the appeal was thrown out. The first part of this development (Bewleys hotel) is well underway and the firat block is almost finished and it is actually quite big. Anyone have images of this development by any chance?

    hey all,
    i’m trying to find information on the strategical plans for dublin’s development in the future. i’m not working on it yet, but i’m planning to do my thesis / final project on dublin (at stuttgart university, germany). during my past stays in dublin i got the impression that there’s an amazing lot of building going on, but i couldn’t find any proper planning material / strategic concepts on how dublin wants to develop.
    anyone got an idea? any info is welcome!

    thanks, a.

    I dont think there is any ‘strategic’ development plan for Dublin. It just seems to grow and grow in an unsustainable fashion. Of course most of it is through planning corruption so I would not expect anything remotely ‘strategic’ for the forseeable future.

    Thanks Morlan,

    Is that 2007 completion? If it is than they only have 1 and a half years for construction for phase 1. Surely it must be getting under construction soon? :rolleyes:
