By Friday most of our signage will be up. And all going to plan doors open on June 3rd 2009.
Good luck with the new venture! 🙂

There has been a lot of conflicting reports about this project. The plans were first announced late last Summer but the word at the moment is that any development is a good while off yet. I don’t know are they even close to submitting an application.
A pub has recently opened up in the old Nevada Smyths premises on the corner, probably on a short term lease!
As I said at the time, there is significant scope to the rear of the building, with a large area of warehouses etc stretching through to Sarsfield Street. Hopefully these will be included in any new development, it would take away some of the dead frontage that is currently plaguing that street.
Limerick Travel wouldn’t really be any loss either…even if it just to be incorporated rather than knocked.

ParticipantI was passing this “landmark” development this morning and noticed that the white exterior just above the doors is going green already! It’s not even a year old.
Can’t believe these are allowed to sort of things are allowed to be built without having tenants secured.

It’s amazing how elegant that looked before they got rid of the lyric theatre.
That’s not actually The Lyric in the photo above.
It’s Havergale Hall, a protestant boys orphanage.October 9, 2008 at 10:43 pm in reply to: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ? #755244PoxyShamrock

is the bank of ireland not due a facelift soon? Although thats probably on hold now with the credit crunch etc.,
Definitely the buildings across from the ‘beautiful’ Brown Thomas building need work..The old ACC bank is kind of cool if it was cleaned up though..
I wonder would it be possible to put a new facade onto BT, something like the Marriott Corner/Riverpoint Glass or White Marble like the Marriott itself?

ParticipantAre the two images in the above post images of the same part of the centre or is the first image the Ellen St/Michael St entrance?

I did notice the monstrosity crammed in between the Georgian terraces opposite the old Co. Co. offices has been let by now. It had been vacant since construction quite a number of months ago.
I was thinking about this site the other day and to my surprise as I passed it tonight, I see it’s been let.
Foodfair, a newsagents is opening there.
Not the best tenant but at least it’s something.June 29, 2008 at 6:55 pm in reply to: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ? #755094PoxyShamrock
ParticipantHow much do you think it would cost to build old-style buildings these days?
Would it be feasible to build something like the old Cannocks building or Brown Thomas in 21st century lego block Limerick?May 11, 2008 at 10:35 pm in reply to: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ? #754937PoxyShamrock

On the Sarsfield Bridge Hotel – I presume it’s a late 80’s early 90’s structure and thus very much of it’s time in terms of ambition.
Not at all!
It’s an early 00’s structure.
Around 2001 I think? 😛April 25, 2008 at 8:50 pm in reply to: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ? #754899PoxyShamrock
ParticipantThat image of the opera centre looks ridiculous. Looks like the front of Guiney’s or something.
And as for that little dark “vehicular entrance”….the words junkie and mugging spring to mind.March 26, 2008 at 1:46 pm in reply to: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ? #754857PoxyShamrock

And has anybody noticed how that horrific false brick cladding on the Childers Road centre has started to fall off? In fact, at the side of Evans/Burton store it has almost entirely come away – disgraceful for a building that isn’t open three years.
They didn’t fall down, they were pulled down. “Da side o’ burton’s” is a hang out place for the local teens :p

As for the Colbert station query, the only image I’ve seen has been in the window of the Bus Eireann ticket office on Thomas Street, not sure if its still there though, there dosent appear to be anything on the web!
Tuborg if you actually look closely at the picture on that window you’ll see it says Tralee on the roof of the station. Kinda stupid advertising it in Limerick!

If auctioneer Pat Kearney can convince the directors of Brown Thomas in Dublin to move to the Opera Centre, then this would definitely unlock the city’s premier commercial site for re-development. Ideally such a re-development opportunity should extend as far back as Little Catherine Street!
I really can’t see BT moving out of their Premises on O’Connell St. After all it is their building and if they were to move to The Opera Centre it would mean paying rent. A BT2 in The Opera Centre would be a good thing though.
