Construction is expected to start early next year on the first phase, which includes 286 homes, a gym and ground-floor commercial space, which will see a 22-storey and 17-storey tower go up. The fourth building will rise up to 12 storeys and include 131 apartments.
Later phases will include the 41-storey tower housing 333 new homes with some featuring winter gardens. The skyscraper will also have an elevated deck above the ground floor which will link the park with the new podium via a new series of stepped terraces with and retail and leisure space on the ground floor. Landscape architecture is by Planit-IE.
Gavin Taylor, regional general manager at Far East Consortium, said the scheme is aimed at first time buyers, professionals and families.
