Ireland’s Tallest Building

The country's tallest building was unveiled in Cork last month (Wed Sept 17th).  Already The Elysian has joined Shandon and St. Finbarr's Cathedral as one of Cork City's most recognisable landmarks.
Set in three acres and architecturally driven, The Elysian luxurious apartments, developed by the O'Flynn Group, were launched before an invited audience from both Ireland and abroad. 

"The multi-million Elysian is now Cork's most prestigious address and the name for the most luxurious apartments in Ireland, and you'll find them right in the heart of Cork City.  Set in three acres, next to City Hall, you are promised a private and unique inner garden spectacle, unlike anything this side of Japan, created by Japanese and Irish craftsmen and incorporating mature specimen trees, stone, water cascades and a central sculpture of copper, coming together to provide an oasis in the heart of the City, surrounded by the most beautiful apartments in Ireland.  This is a unique upmarket development and beautiful living environment with all the advantages of a city centre setting" said Trish Stokes of Sales Agents Sherry FitzGerald.
The Building will have an iconic residential tower standing at 83m in height over 17 floors.  This will make it the tallest building in Ireland, and owners O'Flynn Construction have facilitated visits by Architects, Engineers and Developers over recent weeks from around the country.  Design is by Wilson Architecture and the luxurious apartment interiors are by internationally renowned design group Taylor Howes Designs of London. The landscaping is by the team that designed and built the multiple Gold Award winning Irish Garden in the World Expo 90, in Osaka, Japan. The overall development consists of 211 luxury apartments including 37 penthouse apartments, with secure underground car parking.  A concierge facility will be available, the basement car park has over 550 car spaces, and retail, restaurant, crèche and gym facilities at ground level.  The apartments are set around a podium garden park of trees and water features for apartment owners to relax or exercise. 
"Outside of the Penthouses, at over 3,000 sq. ft., we're talking luxurious apartments, some up to 2,600 sq. ft. in size, with dual aspects, 2.7m high ceilings, large private balconies overlooking the unique elevated garden square and cityscape.  Take a closer look on The Elysian.ie website for the full story", added Trish Stokes of Sherry FitzGerald.
