Flagship’ skyscraper set to hit new heights

IT’S twice the height of Cork’s County Hall and 19 stories taller than Dublin’s Liberty Hall.

Built at a cost of 500 million, the new Westgate Scheme near Dublin’s Heuston Station will house Ireland’s tallest building - a 32-storey residential complex.

The scheme will accommodate 1,500 people in 650 high-quality, family-sized apartments on a former derelict warehouse site.
