27-storey tower to extend €300m Drogheda scheme

The Irish Times

A 27-storey block will form part of a €300 million shopping, leisure and residential development in the docklands area of Drogheda. Gerry Barrett's Edward Holdings has lodged a second planning application to enlarge the original Scotch Hall shopping centre now under construction and provide 200 apartments, some of them in the tower block. The ambitious additional features will, if given approval by Drogheda Borough Council, see the construction of one of the tallest buildings in Ireland, the provision of a further 12,667 sq m (136,346 sq ft) of shopping space, more than 200 residential units and a second new bridge across the River Boyne.
