Thats great news, anything is better than the wreck that is there at the moment.

Great to hear.

The design reminds me a little bit of the IFSC and AIB buildings in Dublin which are nearby the Custom House; albeit closer together

One thing I really like about travelling along the quay in Dublin is seeing the newly developed buildings blending in with the beautiful older structures which hopefully will be the case with our own City Hall, Custom House and Navigation House.

An upgrade to the wharfs on the Albert Quay side would go a long way as they're underutilized and bit of an eyesore.

Like I've said previously, i think sort of development is perfect for the Albert Quay area but the conference center should go to the Brewery Quarter.

In any case it's bringing money and jobs back to the city centre

Excellent news. It may sound odd, but Cork is severely lacking office space for large companies. A lot of multinationals are coming into this country and essentially their only option is to setup in Dublin due to a lack of large office space outside the capital.
