The band U2 is behind a plan to build the tallest tower in Ireland. The
Irish Times reports that the plans for the U2 Tower on Dublin's south Docklands has been lodged with the Dublin Docklands Development Authority. The twisting tower will be 130 meters (427 feet) tall and will be topped by a recording suite for U2 in a penthouse to replace U2's existing studios which are set to be demolished. The project is expected to be completed in the next couple of years and will contain 182 one, two and three bedroom apartments which should sell at prices starting around 1 million euros. The tower twists as it rises so that the last floor is rotated 45 degrees from the first floor. The project has been the
source of some controversy and the project has been repeatedly delayed but hopefully it will proceed as planned now.
