Another development going on in the centre of Bournemouth on the site of the old bus station and latterly car park
Bournemouth 11.06.2015
There have been no real changes since my last visit.
The complex is located close to Heuston Railway Station which includes a Luas tram stop. It is also very close to the Luas which runs down Steevens' Lane along-side the old Dr Steevens' Hospital.
Here is a quote dating from nine years ago “In 2005, the partnership paid €79 million for the 8.2-acre site. When the entire range of facilities are completed in 2011 it is expected to have an end value of almost 10 times the purchase price.” [Irish Times Wed, Apr,2008,01:00]. I very much doubt that you would have to pay €790 million if you wanted to buy the complex today but is is frequently referred to as a €600 million development. However, as another property boom is underway it could well well worth a billion be year end.
According to the official description the €600 million Heuston South Quarter [HSQ], set on a former quarry, overlooks the Royal Hospital but I would be more inclined to say that it is overlooked by the Royal Hospital. The complex incorporates over 92,900sq m of floor area including retail, offices, a four to five-star hotel, leisure centre, gym, restaurants, and a crèche. To the best of my knowledge the first 350 apartments have been completed. I must admit that I did not notice the hotel. I should mention that I have some friends who live here and they are really like it … I could be wrong but they are buying their apartments through some sort of rent to buy scheme.
The area was identified by Dublin City Council as one of the most important development zones for the future of Dublin and therefore formulated Heuston Regeneration Strategy to stimulate and control this growth. The stated aim was to develop a modern and dynamic western entrance to Dublin city centre.
Designed by a team led by Anthony Reddy Architects, the development was originally called ‘Westgate’ because it is strategically located as the new western entrance to Dublin city centre. At some stage it was rebranded as the HSQ.
This curved glass building will be the new John Lewis store which is re-locating from the old George Henry Lees building off Williamson Square to here. Some have found this rather distressing as George Henry Lees belongs in Williamson Square and not down by the river. The Radio City Tower can be seen in the background, whilst the row of shops in the middle of the image are on Paradise Street and date from the late 1800's.
The exquisite finishes at 829 Folsom will surprise you. Typical bathrooms feature Bottocino Italian marble floor, bath and shower surround and custom 6' UltraBain soaking tubs; 2 and 3 bedrooms w/ air jet spa.
My understanding is that there is a large development under way and it will include what is to be known as Tully Park centered on the ruins of Tully Church and Graveyard. According to the developers Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park. Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections. Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone that includes a large play area for children, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.

This campus is currently being developed and the project is somewhat behind schedule.
The Central & East Quads for the DIT Grangegorman campus will accommodate academic activities and facilities required for a total of ten schools from the College of Sciences & Health, College of Engineering & Built Environment and the College of Arts & Tourism. These schools and their associated academic, teaching and specialist facilities will be grouped within the Central Quad to maximise the benefits and efficiencies to DIT from locating together related disciplines and functions.

The corner of Hanover Street is marked by the aforementioned Church House which is seen here amongst the construction of the “Liverpool 1” project. Notice the St Johns Tower reflection in the fresh glass windows of the John Lewis store (soon to be). The crane (one of many in this part of the city) just finishes the whole scene off and shows how high people’s optimism and pride in their city is at the moment. And it can only get better.
This grass was up further than my knees, which for my tall ass is pretty long haha...My Buddy Wes Yang's new 97 Jeep Wrangler that he just got. Little 2.5 5-speed and so much fun

This was a pleasant, well-integrated piece of retail infill just off the King's Road in Chelsea. The building on the right in this photo, housing a franchise of the Patisserie Valerie chain, appears to be the original Edwardian example on which the rest of the plaza is based in terms of scale and (less strictly) style. Clearly it was always intended to be the upper end of mid-scale (I use 'upscale' very carefully when describing London retail, as I'm sure I haven't seen anything near as upscale as it gets), but nonetheless it is encouraging to see (even if it is in a city that's pretty uniformly scaled throughout, it makes a young Eurocentric American wistful for the idea of something better than the lifestyle centers we seem to praise here).

This caught me by surprise when I came across it while on a quest to locate examples of street art. One thing that I did notice was that some drivers appeared to be somewhat confused by the layout … I say that because there were two minor crashes while I was photographing the area.
The Apple Market in Waterford has been the main location for trading since the early 18th century. Recently the area has been transformed into a contemporary urban quarter following a multi-million euro investment.
A specially constructed steel and glass canopy costing €1.2m was constructed as part of a €6m
urban renewal project undertaken by the local council of the area.
The structure is billed as being the only one of its kind in the country. The triangular steel and glazed canopy is held up by nine steel columns, positioned to facilitate certain traffic in the area.
A special reflective material developed by Medite in Co Tipperary is used on half of the 1,400 square-metre canopy, which is over nine metres above the street at its highest, creating a 'mirrored ceiling' effect.
