Elysian

THE ELYSIAN
You can’t miss the Elysian when you are in Cork: it is the tallest building, with a 17 storey high tower as its focal point. Designed by Wilson Architecture, the Elysian won the Irish Residential Property of the Year Award. Lush planting, water cascades and sculpture are the highlights of the internal gardens designed and built by the same team that built the multiple Gold Award winning Irish garden in the World Expo 90 in Japan.
While the building contains hundreds of apartments, there is also some commercial activity here, mainly at the lower levels; included are a medical company and the El Vino’s Restaurant. The tower is open to the public only occasionally, the most recent coming during the August Heritage Day.
