i saw a clip on the news the other day about clongriffin, dublin. i was amazed to see a rather nice plush looking highrise here so i checked out their wesite http://www.clongriffin.ie to see what it’s all about. the larger image on the right hand side of the page shows what i saw on the news but it also shows further highrise buildings. are the “red” buildings under constuction at present? does anyone know? looks good.

Didn’t crosbie say he was building it on primtime. Didn’t want to lose his bet with Bono!
yes he did.
it won’t be built. end of story. tbh, i don’t know why people even propose the highrises anymore. it’s a waste of time.
you’ve made a very good point paul h. i don’t like it one bit either. how can anyone allow such a thing to be built? is this the best we can do?
i must say i find this very exciting. i honestly thought they would never build it. 32 storeys is very big for dublin. that’s twice the height of liberty hall. the location of this watchtower seems good to me. i think they should build quite a good few of these highrises at this location with a few more directly opposite the liffey. it would give dublin a whole new dimension. having said that, i do believe that highrises should be kept well away from the lowrise historical district. i hope that people post pictures of the watchtower’s progress. i can remember 10 years ago or so when they proposed a much taller one george’s quay plaza as well as the rest yet no proper highrises were built. i’m just glad to see the watchtower going ahead. i hope the finished product looks good. it’s hard to tell from a photo. i do like the sound of an observation platform. i’ll just have to get a look at that.
how do you know it’s the shaft for the tower? it could be for something else. there are a lot of shafts on this site. don’t get me wrong, i want this built. i just don’t believe it. so many buildings like this were meant to be built yet they are nowhere to be seen.

The liftshafts are under construction at low level. Won’t give my sources away, but they have definitely started work on it!
any sign of those liftshafts getting any higher? it has been a month. i still can’t get over how quick alto vetro’s liftshaft went up. :confused:
i haven’t been in this area in years so the last time i was here the headquarters stood proud. what’s here now? the link above is no longer working… mind you, it has been a while.
i’m sorry if this has been mentioned before but i can’t find the details anywhere. what is happening with this building? i only noticed it closed the other day. it looks like it has been closed for a while mind. is it being done up? is it being demolished? will someone else be moving in? i must say i am very disappointed. ebs have been there for as long as i can remember. :confused:

nice images there. i do like the look of the finished product. 🙂
how come we’re not seeing a concrete pile above? shouldn’t that be the first step to building such a tall tower block? alto vetro had one and that’s about half the height of the watchtower. it seems a bit odd.:confused:
only 3 weeks ago people were saying that they were still working on the tower’s foundation. how can it have shot up to 5/6 storeys already? is the tower really under construction or is it some other part of the point project we’re seeing above? if it is the tower, cool.:)
they seem to be working on the foundation for the tower a good while now. why is there such a long delay in going to construction?

time to pull the plug on the whole project
i agree. i for one am sick and tired of waiting for them to get their act together.:mad:
why exactly is there such a long delay in bulding this skyscraper? it should be well under construction! it’s very annoying.
i don’t really like this new proposal to be honest. they should have stuck with the twisting design. it looked way better.
