Bishops Quay, Limerick

Project Description

Undertaken within a live urban confined site, the project involved the demolition of the existing buildings within the site. The site contains a live ESB transformer and associated underground cables.  Alterations to the permitted office block include reducing the existing building height fronting Lower Cecil Street and Bishop’s Quay from 15-storeys over 2 basement levels to 7-storeys over 2 basement levels. The height of the building on Henry Street is being increased from 4- storeys to 5-storeys, resulting in a revised office space overall of 6,106 sqm. approximately. A plant room/enclosure is being provided at roof level. As part of these works, Conack also will reconfigure the permitted ground floor level (Level 0), provide revised car parking layout, cycle parking layout  and  all ancillary  general plant, storage areas, shower facilities and refuse management zones, and a revised  elevational treatment to the office block fronting Bishop’s Quay & Cecil Street.
