There is talk that the NDA has struck a deal with the developers of the apartment block that is planned for Horgans Quay.
Also some development on the O Callaghan apartments on Kennedy Quay, well talk of same. Hopefully they will get underway within the next few months

I believe also that The Marquee has found itself a new home thereby allowing the apartment development on that site to proceed

I think that those talks have been going on for a long while (late last year) and good to see those much needed apartments proceed.

OCP scheme including private hospital at Kennedy quay is meant to start soon and Glenveign have already started the enabling works at the Marquee site.

The new student apartment blocks on the Straight Road (just beyond the County Hall) look ok, now that the external finishes are applied.
During construction, I thought they would be awful. Pleasantly surprised.

The entire area of Victoria cross has been systematically destroyed with cheap high rise flats in varying states of poor external maintenance.

Its a shame as it used be a nice area.





Its like some late 70s brutallist Eastern european cityscape.


Mank.

Nah I used like walking there 20 years now, now its like




Everything is built to the very edge of the road. The whole place just looks cluttered in 360°.

Its become a very ugly part of the City.

I fully agree with you. Apart from the UCC block and other new one under construction on the Straight Road (the one I referred to) - all the other student apartment blocks in Victoria Cross area are hideous.

I don't mind the new ones but the beige one at the old Victoria Sawmills is an eyesore.

Its covered in mould and dirt. They don't maintain these properties. Just a total eyesore.

The red brick one with the centra is one cheap , nasty looking build.

The fact their footprint is to the very edge of the footpath makes them far more imposing. Had the planners insisted in keeping the builds in from the road more then they wouldn't jar so much with their surrounds.
