A €700M docklands development has been unveiled for lands around Dublin's Point Theatre. The signature building of the project is a 100-metre high landmark tower, mirroring the new U2 tower across the Liffey. The two will, it is said, combine to give Dublin Bay a distinctive maritime gateway. Hailed as a state-of-the-art project, The Point Village, spearheaded by millionaire businessman Harry Crosbie, would include a four-star hotel, Luas terminal and a revamp of the Point Theatre, creating over 1,500 jobs for the area. Plans are said to be advanced, although planning permission for the 12-acre site has not yet been sought from local authorities.
