Looming over the building site
November 27th, 2006 by Donncha
A tall crane looms over the building site of The Elysian, a new high-rise building that will house offices, apartments, a shopping center and underground parking. The main tower of the new building will be 17 storeys high, taller than anything else in the city.
Over a year ago I took a photo of the US Book. As you can see, they’ve dug the foundations and started on the main tower.
This picture was taken from the top of a 4 storey car park which gives you some idea of how tall that crane is!

[...] I live in a city where the tallest building is one that < href=”http://inphotos.org/looming-over-the-building-site/”>will be 17 floors high so when I travel to far off lands it’s always great to see tall skyscrapers looming over the streets. [...]

[...] Yesterday the Elysian’s tower reached the 18th floor, 72m above sea level and one of the tallest buildings in the country. Apparently St Finbarre’s Cathedral is 75m to it’s central spire but there won’t be a 2400sq ft penthouse at the top of that! [...]
