Central Bank set to pay Nama €8m for Anglo’s half-built ivory tower

The Central Bank has agreed to pay about €8m for a half-completed Dublin office block that’s synonymous with the real-estate crash, according to a source.

The bank will buy the building on North Wall Quay from Nama, said the source.

Anglo Irish Bank had planned to use the tower as its headquarters before the bank’s collapse helped push the country towards the international bailout agreed in 2010.
