Capital chance to get in at the ground level

BUYING 6 Church Street East, in Dublin's East Wall, may be just the opportunity to get in, literally, at ground level in an area set for soaring changes.

The terraced older-style property, fully done up, is close to the Point Depot and East Link Bridge - and this is where entrepreneur and businessman Harry Crosbie has plans to build Point Village, complete with 100-metre high apartment tower to mirror U2’s twisting tower across the Liffey.

The area is on the cusp of enormous changes: already, the IFSC has come down to meet it, and the troubled old Sherriff Street reputation behind is being rehabilitated.
