DUBLIN

The U2 Tower

The U2 Tower will be located on a key site, surrounded by water on three sides, within walking distance of Dublin's financial services centre and business districts. The project is part of the Grand Canal Dock area, where the Docklands Authority are working with some of the worlds leading architects on projects aimed at developing the area. The tower consists of approximately 20,000 square metres of mainly residential space and will also be the home of the rock band U2’s recording studio. The adjacent Britain Quay Development will be approximately 11,500 square metres and will contain a mix of uses including leisure, residential, commercial, arts and culture uses. Both developments will reside at the confluence of three waterways, the River Liffey, River Dodder and Grand Canal, and will be served by specially designed boardwalks and marinas. It is expected that the construction of the tower will commence in 2008. Standing at the end of the Grand Canal Dock, the U2 Tower will provide a remarkable architectural icon for the skyline of Docklands and the city of Dublin overlooking the waterfront.
