Building at mountjoy park?

arleitiss

Hey, just wondering does anyone know what's building near mountjoy park? there was a construction site for a year or more free, now 3 weeks ago new company moved it, built like a passages for people so that debris doesn't fall on them, now building is going on from like 7 AM until 6 PM. Today they started using huge drills like 30 metres high. They drilled already like 5 or 6 holes. It's on upper gardinier street.

is there not a notice in the lane? Thought I seen one at the site entrance opposite the hill 16. Looks like they're putting in pile foundations. A lot of the buildings adjacent are braced up on the hill.

I'd say 4th one down on this page looks like it.....

That pile driver is about 15 metres high at most. 30 metres high is half the height of Liberty Hall.
