Elysian tower

Well worth arranging a tour to see the place, they are taking people in groups every hour or so. The prices they are asking are astronomical (eg 2-bed flat for €655K plus €4k/year service charge

) so I suspect they will be trying to flog them for a long time to come!

The Penthouse is bigger than my house!!!

Just had a quick look there on the website. All the apartments seem huge for today (hence the price). I think if this had completed 2 years ago, they would have all been snapped up. Now, given the market, if you have that kind of money, you will more likely be buying yourself a nice 4 bed in a nice suburb.

It's a shame, because I do think they are nice, but it's a bit overindulgent for today's market.

Asking prices are crazy. Love the idea of living in the city but as has been pointed out you could buy bigger places on the Blackroad Rd for similar prices.

The development looks great, but it's far too expensive for Joe Soap. Having said that though, I would love to rent one of the apartments.

Did they bring up to the top to see the view. I'd love that. Did u ring them up for the tour or just turn up?

I'd love to see some of the apartments that the decorators haven't gotten to. Would be interesting to see if the rumours about the quality of the work holds up.

thejuggler · 15-09-2008, 08:49

I reckon these apartments will be empty for a long time to come if the prices are accurate. O'flynns must be up to their necks in debt on this one - it won't be pretty if they can't get buyers. Perhaps they will be rented out in the short term.
I don't think many will buy the noughties version of the blackpool flats!

Didn't get to the very top unfortunately. Guess only serious punters get there! I registered on the site a while back & got an invite in the post.

Yeah I heard that as well, something to do with contracts being sub-contracted several times over.

The prices are accurate as they gave out a price list with the very glossy brochure, range is from €375k for the cheapest 1-bed flat to a cool two million for the one on top.

The exterior still looks unfinished. The name of the building is embarrassingly pretentious.

taram · 21-09-2008, 00:05

Anyone else see the giant spike on top? It glows blue like a lightsaber some times, the best feature of the building I think. Destroyed my view over the city

*Jack B. Badd* · 21-09-2008, 11:01

Does it still have the graffiti "Skyscrapers are gay" on the exterior?

The only help I can give is that it's only lit when the rest of the building is.
