Limerick Twenty Thirty has welcomed cabinet approval for Limerick's tallest building, the 14-story landmark building at the Opera Square site. The cabinet approved the project on April 29.

The decision has been welcomed as a pivotal moment for not just the Opera Square project itself but the wider Limerick region.

Welcoming the decision, Chair of Limerick Twenty Thirty James Collins said, “The OPW building is the landmark building and very much also pivotal for the entire Opera Square project, so we are delighted today that the cabinet has signed off on the OPW investment here.

"A huge amount of work has already been advanced at Opera Square, including our One Opera Square building which is nearing completion and going to be another key economic driver of Limerick. On top of that, the decision today on the OPW building gives not just the wider project but the Limerick region a huge boost,” he said. 

“The construction phase alone will deliver a major economic stimulus for the region, with 300 jobs in construction and a massive benefit to local suppliers. On its completion we will see up to 950 public servants work daily in the building and 1,500 people on a hybrid working model. This is a key to unlocking the enormous potential of Limerick city centre and a major boost for the regeneration of the city centre.”

The 14 storey NZEB compliant building will provide 100,000sq ft of office space for staff. The works to be delivered by LTT will also include redevelopment of the Granary building and significant enhancement of the Bank Place public realm.  Enda Power, CEO at Limerick Twenty Thirty said. 

“This is a massive moment for Limerick Twenty Thirty and the Opera Square project. We’re well underway on other works on the site but this 14storey landmark building will accelerate momentum. We have already identified a preferred contractor for the project and expect to get work underway in late summer, with a two-year build phase. The building will also be ‘best-in-class’ in terms of sustainability, which is very much in keeping with Limerick’s ambition to be one of Europe’s most sustainable cities of the future,” he said.
