Well no because we don’t have any of those buildings.
Sandyford Central started in March 2022 and is about to be completed. That’s exactly what is need right now.
There’s a place for 50 floor buildings but not everywhere yet.
Because Berlin worked out so well.
They’ve built a skyscraper in that time in manc lad.
It takes 3 years to build a 50 floor building unless you are relying on slave labour.
Sure they had that in Ballymun and knocked them all down…
The sad fact is that they only really work if fairly high end. I don’t know why. Be an interesting study for a psychologist

Interesting concept
They don’t say how they take their cut. Good to see some form of innovation in the market anyway
What is it like hire purchase or something for another word?
Whos behind it? Seems like a DoB job at first glace, an offspring of daft?
Seems like you find the property, rent it for a number of years, some of the rent is offset against your ultimate purchase of the unit…but I don’t know any more than what’s on the site…
No idea who is behind it
Sounds great in theory. In practice I’d be wary it’s sub prime lending, no doubt at an extortionate rate

Was looking at map there earlier…there looks to be hundreds of acres of land next to finglas in a place called scribblestown…how come this hasn’t been developed…never even heard it mentioned I don’t think over the years

They were starting to build there when I was leaving, and that’s more than a decade ago
