This building comprising 45 000m² of office space on the banks of the river Liffey was completed in 2007 and houses the Irish head Offices of PWC and Fortis Bank.

The building is planned on a north/south axis, comprising a seven storey north block and an eight storey south block. The north block is designed in a u-shape, facing west around a landscaped courtyard, while the south block is sub divided internally by a full height landscaped atrium on an east west axis.

Both blocks are connected by glazed link bridges at upper levels with a landscaped separation at ground level. This forms a strong physical and visual pedestrian link between the adjoining National Conference Centre and Spencer Dock’s Central Square.
