Another Development Stalled: Work to stop at Henry St (GPO) development soon.

    Just like the Parkway Valley on the Dublin Road, the new complex being built on Henry Street on site of the old Post Office Parcel building is to come to a halt over the next few weeks.
    Sisk will be stopping work at the site due to a shortage of money by the Robert Butler Group.

    Are we gonna end up with shells all over the city?

    Worrying times ahead. :confused:

    The work has NOT stopped on the GPO and it if it wasn't for people like Robert Butler this town would still be an eyesore with a lot of tradesmen and builders even more unemployed. BTW his house in Adare is not sold.

    Hail Glorious St. Robert, dear saint of our town,
    On us thy poor children bestow a sweet smile;
    And now thou art high in your Adare mansions above,
    On Limrick's grey streets look down in thy love.

    Im sorry work has halted because leaving the site to dereliciton will only attract a bad element no matter what the proximity to the Garda station is.

    Im unhappy that they actually got planning to build that eyesore behind a listed building. I thought Limerick learned its lesson from King Johns Castle welcome centre eyesore.

    If work like this stops, whats about our "Manhattan Island" Financial Centre(laughable now) in St Marys Park?

    All those corporation housing people are probably just as pissed because they were all expecting free houses in Raheen, Castletroy, Corbally etc etc.

    I love it when you see the signs "Acquired by the Robert Butler Group". Why not say "bought by....". C'mon , less of the pretentious w'nk....:rolleyes:

    It is acquired because the deeds have not been signed to the developer because the investors/bank own it. They are in situ waiting for another to take ownership.

    Estate agents do this also.

    Anyway, it sounds all white collar. Why not? :D

    Still no confirmation or any source to this. Just more doom and gloom talk and "my friend who know this guy who knows this guy who is working on the site" shíte tbh.
