While on a global scale, the U2 tower isn’t remarkable in height or concept (Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweeden)… it’s a big step for Ireland and Dublin specifically. I’m glad to hear about the height increase and a bit more information from the link posted. I can’t wait to see how it will actually look in person. Hueston Gate as well… I don’t think the renderings will do it justice.

Yes, I’m aware of those pictures…… as I emailed the developer and got them and uploaded them. 🙂
That picture on the bottom isn’t of the Silver Swan, its the Queen Maeve Hotel (15) and the 10 storey office block.
So is it 13 or 10? The article seems to indicate that the planning commision made them change it to 10.
Also, can you update us on when it begins construction?
Yeah, bringing it down from 13 to 10 is fine. The environment of that location doesn’t need to be changed too much more dramatically than it’s already going to.
As far as the design goes for this new Silver Swan proposal, I think it looks good. The renderings are awfully small, but it looks neat. Good job, Sligo.
🙁
I was holding out hope that this might be Ireland’s first tall skyscraper. I guess we still have Hueston Gate in the running…
The TV show Alias (Jennifer Garner’s) last season had an episode that took place partly in Berlin and they showed an aerial shot of a city and labeled it “Berlin” but it was Dublin! It was George’s Quay and surrounding area from a helicopter at night! It was very lovely, but I got pretty miffed that they put it as Berlin.
Great !
It says the Deadline is Oct/Nov and the contract is awarded in December. Which means we may know if it will be approved by Spring of 2005?

Oh come on, the whole thing is boring and uninteresting…I never said it was exciting, original or interesting. Just nice. Chill out, Paul.
It’s horrible! To sloppy. Its like they were trying to make a statement but made too many little mistakes that when all put together just throws the whole design off. Thats awful!
Thanks for the photos, JJ.
