The Tallest Building In The Republic Of Ireland Will Be Built Beside The Point Village

We first mentioned this a few months ago, but construction of the tallest building in the Republic of Ireland finally got the green light from Dublin City Council today. 

'The Exo' building will be located at the Point Village, by the Northside entrance to the Docklands, one of the few locations in Dublin that allow for high-rise structures. It will occupy 224,000 sq ft, enough room to accommodate 2,000 workers.

The project is expected to necessitate the creation of 350 jobs and will take two years to complete. 

The 73-metre high structure will not only be the tallest building in Dublin but also the Republic of the Ireland, with the next tallest being The Elysian Tower in Cork at 68 metres.

Happy to see this new addition to the city?
