    Course they are. Drive past it some night and look up, there's bugger all occupants.

    And I'm pretty sure some of those lights are left on on purpose...

    Man if I had an old doll I would really think about going halfsies on a 1 bedroom. Alas I don't and 1000 is just a bit over the top for my current wages, 500 a month would be grand out. However, I work literally next to the Elysian. My life would be confined to eglington street, the horror. As much as it would be kind of cool to live in town, I like living in Rochestown very much and the rents only charge me a small amount of rent. Now if they drop in price to like 800. Then I would have to really think about it.

    You don't live in an apartment in the Elysian with a girl, you bring them there.

    The apartments in the tower are probably described as "F*ck Pad #7" on the blueprints.

    It really is in a horrible location, not to mention it's an ugly building itself. It's little more than a large roundabout with some views of urban decay on the lower floors. I'd love to see the 'quality' of the finish and see if the rumours were true.

    I wonder where in the building those apartments that are being offered for rent on daft are situated. Like you'd want them to be high up enough so that u don't hear all the traffic. if def wouldn't want to live in the flat in the lowrise part of it that face off out towards the docks. if the one or 3 bed apartments came down a bit more i would def give it some serious consideration.

    Yeah the traffic would be a nightmare. Also, any fire trucks required in north cork have t go via eglington street. Happens about 3 times a day and hey are loud!

    I reckon it's the ones in the tower which have the lights on sometimes.
    Looks like it from the pics and they are the only ones that are furnished in the tower.
    Around the 10th floor
    The view that they have in the pics confirms it

    Well I don't know exactly how many are sold but if you look up during the night there's barely any lights on. 5 sounds about right.

    They should direct the River Lee to flow around it so that the effect will be similar to the Irish rail bridge collapse in Malahide. The result will be the leaning Elysian Tower. Think of the benefits to the economy with an upsurge in tourism.

    Was told recently the developer is trying to buy out the apartment owners so they can just shut it down and not have to pay maintence till theres some level of demand again.

    Was up at the top of it yesterday, it was fairly miserable. Bleak, dark, not a luxurious feeling at all, although the courtyard is nice but not functional at all. Not like you can walk your dog in there or have a BBQ or even sit down and read a book.
