Elysian towers above the rest

THE country’s tallest building has been named Cork’s best building.

Judges of the city’s Better Buildings Awards chose the 83-metre 17-storey Elysian tower, with 211 luxury apartments, set on three acres in the city centre, as the winner of their Judge’s Choice Award.

Developer Michael O’Flynn described it as “a new quality landmark building which will define the Cork skyline for years to come”.
