REF- "WORK has commenced on a €45m hotel and office development at Morrison’s Island, kickstarting a much-needed and long-awaited overhaul of Morrison’s Quay. Contractors, the Cavan-based Elliot Group, have moved onto the 0.65 acre site which formerly housed Moore’s Hotel. Mark Elliott, CEO of the Greenleaf Group, who, along with Warren Private are developing the site, said it should be ready for Autumn 2023. The development will include a 6,800 sq m 187-bedroom Premier Inn with offices in one ground-floor section, as well as the full refurbishment of Nos 11, 12 and 13 Morrison’s Quay as high-quality own-door office buildings, whose protected 19th century facades will be conserved. Architects on the project are MDO Architects, Dublin."
