'Major step forward' as Limerick's Opera Square gets first concrete pour

IN A 'MAJOR step forward', developments have been made at the One Opera Square basement this Thursday morning, as the site received its first concrete pour.

This annoucement comes just a week after one of the largest luffing cranes in the country was installed on October 17.

According to Limerick 2023: "At precisely 6:05am, a team of dedicated workers successfully covered an expansive area of 350 square meters with concrete, signifying a momentous step forward in the progress of this high-profile project."

Earlier this year, the €200m project received a boost with the creation of a joint venture partnership with the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund which will provide €80m for the construction of the One Opera Square building which forms a central element of the overall development. 

Limerick Twenty Thirty has appointed John Sisk & Son for the design and construction of the One Opera Square building and the 10,000 square metre basement which is scheduled for completion in January 2025.
