Your right there Anto, they always want to create controversy, get a few slaps on the back from local residents, all they are out for is themselves.
Thats a great idea build outwards rather than upwards! Why dont all other countries follow our great example! Infuriating, what narrow minded tossers. Follow Dublins example why dont they, theyll be the tossers dealing with all the problems in a decade or two. Is there no certain height a building has to be to be called a skyscraper? I thought to be labeled a skyscraper a building had to be 120m plus? Could you imagine if that was the case and the objectors had to call them tall buildings instead what gobshites theyd sound like and how backwards theyd seem!
Does this have planning permission and is it the same tower as the proposed 19 storey one and has just gotten 3 floors lopped off?
Diaspora, a 197 apartments, are you happy? Many of the five and six storey buildings in the docklands both in existence and proposed have more than that! I really think this will get the go ahead,
1. the area has been identified as suitable for high rise
2. there has been much liasing with dcc on the issue and they have given it their backing
3. the governement are behind the scheme, itll give the project more weight
4. Despite what you might say, the area is well served by public transport, (better than anywhere else in this country).
5. It is not purely residential and commecial, ie. museum etc, bridge etc.Hang on. There has got to be a catch, i mean i just dont believe it can be that easy. Why the hell are CIE not acting if this is the case. I refer to the already on place interconnector. There has to be something not right.
So its to be built? I find it hard to believe that they would find it hard to find tenants for that building.
No, the work on Tara Street is due to begin this September.It wasnt meant to begin earlier. It will take 2 years to construct. If they turned Sir John Rogersons quay into apartments they could literally charge what they wanted for an apartment, it would be an amazingly cool building to live in.
The four buildings i was talking about are, u2 tower, millenium tower, pearse street and grand canal dock towers, also spencer dock is quite close.
That will mean therell be four mid rise buildings in close proximity to another, irelands manhattan! Whats happening with the southbank development?
I thought the Spencer Dock 60m development and the recently announced 19 storey blocks were different developments?
If the 32 storey development goes ahead, does anyone that the 60m maximum height they are allowing on Spencer Dock for the landmark building will be highered? It will lessen the prestige of the building and the Heuston development will be a rival. If its kept at 60m it will just be another fairly normal building, that will not generate much interest, it would be prestigious to have Dublins tallest building for Spencer Dock and the DDDA. Some rivalry might even develop between the Heuston and SD development.
Andrew is the development on Pearse Street the site the DDDA has identified as a location for a tall building or another site?
Diaspora is right there, the bar will gradually be raised. I mean a few years ago 60m was the highest we had and nothing came close to it, now 60 m is nothing out of the ordinary. For example if a new 80m building was built, youd set a precedent for Dublin, im sure all new high rise buildings in the city centre would be built to this height for some time. Then a few years later another higher building would be built and this height would become the norm and so on.
