説明 | In a way I find this amusing because what is to be seen here is to some extent mirrored in a public art installation in the nearby museum. The installation is 8 Limestones by Ulrich Rückriem. When I first saw the installation a number of years ago I liked it but I was a bit worried that it might be an attractive air conditioning installation rather than a work of art. I will publish relevant photographs later today.I last visited this complex in April 2016 had there have been some changes since then.Here is a quote dating from nine years ago “In 2005, the partnership paid €79 million for the 8.2-acre site. When the entire range of facilities are completed in 2011 it is expected to have an end value of almost 10 times the purchase price.” [Irish Times Wed, Apr,2008,01:00]. I very much doubt that you would have to pay €790 million if you wanted to buy the complex today but is is frequently referred to as a €600 million development. However, as another property boom is underway it could well well worth a billion be year end.According to the official description the €600 million Heuston South Quarter [HSQ], set on a former quarry, overlooks the Royal Hospital but I would be more inclined to say that it is overlooked by the Royal Hospital. The complex incorporates over 92,900sq m of floor area including retail, offices, a four to five-star hotel, leisure centre, gym, restaurants, and a crèche. To the best of my knowledge the first 350 apartments have been completed. I must admit that I did not notice the hotel. I sould mention that I have some friends who live here and they are really like it … I could be wrong but they are buying their apartments through some sort of rent to buy scheme.The area was identified by Dublin City Council as one of the most important development zones for the future of Dublin and therefore formulated Heuston Regeneration Strategy to stimulate and control this growth. The stated aim was to develop a modern and dynamic western entrance to Dublin city centre.Designed by a team led by Anthony Reddy Architects, the development was originally called ‘Westgate’ because it is strategically located as the new western entrance to Dublin city centre. At some stage it was rebranded as the HSQ. The complex is located close to Heuston Railway Station which includes a Luas tram stop. It is also very close to the Luas which runs down Steevens' Lane along-side the old Dr Steevens' Hospital. |
