Point Village

Point Village

The Point Village ( _ga. Sráidbhaile an Phointe) is a planned new 'city quarter' in the North Wall area of Dublin, Ireland.

As part of the development, the following are planned to be built: a 120 m skyscraper (called the 'Watchtower') with around 150 apartments, 500 m² of office space and a rooftop bar, a 23,000 m² shopping centre, a 250-room 4-star "Choice Hotels" hotel [ [http://www.breakingnews.ie/business/?jp=MHKFAUSNKFKF&rss=rss2 BreakingNews.ie - 'Choice Hotels to run Point Village hotel'] ] , 13,000 m² of offices, a 3-story underground car park with capacity for 1,000 vehicles, a 12-screen cinema, expansion of the 'Point Depot' into a 15,000-seater arena with one of the biggest stages in Europe and the 'U2 Experience' museum (similar to the Beatles Museum in Liverpool).

Transport links to "the Village" are also planned. The terminus of the extension of the Luas light rail system will be located in the middle of the development (the extension will be 1.5 km long and will have 4 stops, connecting to the existing Red line of the system). This Luas link will connect the Point Village to other transport options - including the DART, suburban rail, Busáras, mainline rail, and the future Dublin Metro. The Dublin Port Tunnel is also located nearby.

The 'Point Village' is expected to complete by 2009 at a cost of €800,000,000 and may employ around 2,000 people.
