      They launched the Roadshow for that in Dublin about two weeks ago.

      Nice design but expensive no doubt..

      Dublin developer Garrett Kelleher of Shelbourne Developments is heading the project which is entirely residential.
      The Spire will contain almost 2,000 apartments ranging from 50 square metres to 950 square meters. The price range will go from $750,000 to $40m.
      Work has already begun on the extensive foundations at the site which involves drilling over 30 metres down into bedrock.
      Last night an international marketing campaign got underway. The Chicago Spire is expected to be completed by late 2011
      Shelbourne Developments has unveiled its plans for what will become the tallest building in North America.

              Santiago Calatrava is the man. The cost isnt hard yet, but they are figuring it will be in excess of 1 billion dollars.
              Push the envelope, watch it bend.

                ~1968ft high (600 meters). 500 feet higher than the Sears Tower!!. (1451ft.)
