Cork's Tallest Residential Tower Tops Out

0:00That wraps your up news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story. Cork's rail yard development just hit a milestone with its main tower core, topping out at over 85 meters tall, setting the stage for Ireland's tallest residential building at 25 stories high. Specialist crew from SlipForm UK kicked off the poor back on March 18th, pumping 1,700 cubic meters of concrete and tying. And 225 tons of steel around the clock for 10 straight days. They averaged 2.5 floors a day, using 30 workers per 12-hour shift, wrapping it up safely and right on schedule thanks to solid, planning. Now folks in Cork can spot this sleek tower rise in between the old city heart and the fresh Docklands vibe, plus its weaving and renovations to two, historic buildings on site. Next up, the other two cores wrapped by April's end. Coming to 217 affordable homes by the close of 2027 through A.
