look here , it a nice slender tall landmark building, GET OVER it, its a perfect gateway entrance to the city coming from the west side n nothing wrong with that……
FORGET the dockalnads its not happining there!!!!
let’s see a bit of common sense here ,
there is not much chance of a cluster of high buildings going ahead if they keep getting the thumbs down , right? ,plus there is potential for the Hueston area to become a cluster of high rises!!
my opinon its a nice building, it always looks better than on paper ,people?that really needed to be expressed!!!!!
I can;t wait to see the the design of the the St munchins develpment !!!
the boundary extention feud! is really causing havock!!!! the county councils want the monopoly of the city which is very greedy! when nearly half of the entire population of the city is in Clare and couunty limerick
its even causing cofusion to investors and multnationals who come to ireland think Limerick is unaatractive judging by its labour market , pop, rates , etc…..i think its one of the highest rates outside Dublin or its even higher? even the suburbs are paying big bucks for retail park devlopments too.
there is a lot of derelict buildings been pulled down in the city centre , which is good but as Jimg said there is no major retail shops goin in just apartments mostly, which explains why retail rents are far lower the cork where as Patrick street is 3 times the price of criuses street.
Does anyone know if there are brownfields site up for new developments at the docks whats goin up?
threre is up to 250acres of land there 40 acres for dockland dev.
which is for commercial residential and other uses inclu. upgrade of the docks etc.
the the dockland company were planning to move some of it works further down stream to foynes etc.
anyone have more information il try get some info in the meantimedevlopment around cobert station should be thought about as its a major gateway into that side of the city
some parts is rough and run down!lol i did…… there should be 3 lanes to portloais , when all the limerick ,waterford and cork sections join up, traffic will funnell onto the existing M7 ,and i can see that happining in 15 years time! the naas bypass takes a pretty large amount of traffic when only twenty years ago it went through the town.
i don’t really care how many lanes there or auxillary, weaving worms and girrafes there are ! what is needed is neccessary to carry the amount of traffic for any don’t you think?😀 lol……. when our public transport is finsihed , we should all organaise a bunngee jump off the dart bridge over the liffey, anyone interested?? dis date will be sometime in the next century ! 😀 to celebrate
😀 well thats is very irish is’nt it, im sure they will develop it when we have the altalntic tunnel is built and it will problay connect to Dublins grand intergrated public transport by then
thanks for that Turborg,
it realy does look awful, what is going in there now , i heard it was a 13 storey building i could be wrong but its simular height to the standing building anyway ,
The time Frank Mcdonald the Irish Times editor was doing arcitecture of the regional cities he mentioned that there was a 12 storey and 15 (riverpoint building) which is near completion im a bit confused…
a decent high rise building would be perfect there as a it will form a real urban quater . it will fit in nicely as the the area is high density with the clarion and riverpoint already pointing towards the sky!im a fan of high rises, live in Dub and i really think the Riverpoit building is one of the most outstanding high rises in ireland , i would par it against the Georges office block in Dublin
it will be interesting to see how they will develop the savoy?there is still a few pockets in Limerick that need ambitious ideas to come up with sometihng interesting because a lot of the bnew dev. are all simular and been built at a pheonamal rate
I think Roscrea is a lovely town
with many medieval buildings , pre chritian buildings and after too.
the castle is very impressive on castle street on coming from the Dublin side of town
its medival pattern is one of the finest i think .
iit has a round tower , a few mill house and a big friary which are all a stone throw from each other.
it is said that it is on the off the oldest towns in ireland as it was a major crossroad in central ireland.
quit a pretty town which has changed little even in the last century!how about we call our superficial lanes a 10 lane motorway 10 lanes so we can add all the off ramps slip roads and even the extra lanes that are on the slip road , god we have the widest roads in europe Andrew ,
Andrew we don’t HAVE EIGHT LANES , THERE ARE NOT MAINBOUND LANES FOR TRAFFIC … WE HAVE ONLY OFFICIALLY THREE LANE MOTORWAYS . WEAVING IS LIKE SAYING YOU BUY PORRIDGE WITH ADDED SUGAR IN IT ,04531 John Moloney Motors,

Ivan’s Junction,
Cloi thought St munchins house was the riverpoint building?
i stolled around limerick on saturday , and there is a lot of changes happening,
but O’connells street is a real pain in thee buttis there any tall buildings going ahead apart from the bloody boring 5 to 9 storey buildings that have been built already , anyway i garentee you that those building will be knocked in 20 years time if other real developers got their way to build higher buildings as the land values go up, and when there is know room in Dublin city centre , we will build in laois as the salution to our overcrowding, a never ending irish problem when it comes to anything they build!!!!! build first plan later , im sure blancherstown can have more sprawling estates
“when we get more money from developers building huge office park we will get money to spend building are infastructure with a few pot holes filled in” …………..thanks Turborg,
i was in limerick the other day , henry street is some fine street compare to what it was 3 years ago
the bank of scotland building is not a very interestin building to be honest
but i suppose it fits in well to the other new buildings on the street which have simularitieswhats the name of that building irishtown , im really confused because there is development at the moment in henry street and its called newtown house dev. with eight storeys ? i have’nt been in limerick in a good while …
Prestigious six-storey development at Barrington House
DTZ Sherry Fitzgerald have been appointed sole agents for a new development known as Barrington House.
Barrington House is a prestigious new six-storey block comprising bar/restaurant at ground and first floor level together with overhead office accommodation.
The building is constructed to the highest specification which incorporates an attractive stone facade.
Said Mr Cusack: “The innovative design provides for maximum natural light and avails of the attractive river views.”
The bar/restaurant is accessed from street level and the office accommodation is accessed via a separate entrance lobby, which benefits from a passenger lift.
Barrington House is located adjacent to Barrington’s Hospital and Limerick Art College and has unrestricted views over the Abbey River.
Location offers ease if access to and from the city and there is a wide range of multi-storey car parks in the immediate vicinity.
In addition, the area is tax-designated under the 1999 urban renewal scheme and there are valuable capital allowances available for qualifying purchasers.
Note that the surrounding area is in mixed commercial use and includes a substantial number of large office developments together with a host of restaurants, bars and night-clubs.
The bar/restaurant is available for sale or to let in one lot and the offices on a floor by floor basis. DTZ say that the accommodation will be finished to a shell and core specification;however, quotations for a fit-out can be provided upon receipt of a details specification.
It is expected that the project will be available for occupation in Spring.
