The Dublin Docklands Development Authority has selected a shortlist of five companies to develop its U2 Tower

It has selected four Irish parties: Sean Mulryan’s Ballymore Properties, a consortium of Treasury Holdings and Sisk, Sean Dunne’s Mountbrook Homes and the River II partnership. The non-Irish developer on the shortlist is global construction company Royal BAM Group.

The 32-storey tower is located in the Grand Canal Dock area and is named after the Irish rock group because it will have a recording studio in one of the top storeys in the tower. The Docklands Authority will retain ownership of the tower.
