Project Progress - Updates

On Monday, 26, January 2026, Minister of State for the Office of Public Works (OPW), Kevin ‘Boxer’ Moran confirmed that work on the OPW’s 14-storey Landmark Office Building at Opera Square in the heart of Limerick City, would commence in the ensuing weeks.

Minister Moran confirmed that John Sisk and Sons had been awarded the contract by Limerick Twenty Thirty (LTT) for the works following a competitive tender process.

Limerick Twenty Thirty is a special purpose company owned by Limerick City and County Council that develops key strategic sites in Limerick to drive economic growth, create jobs, and revitalize the city.

This construction phase of the project represents an investment of approximately €70 million by the Government and will be a key stimulus for the wider ongoing Limerick Twenty Thirty programme to transform the economic, physical and social landscape of the city and region.

The development, which will overlook the Abbey River at Bank Place, will accommodate the Revenue Commissioners Office and other government departments and will be Limerick’s and the Mid-West’s tallest building.

The OPW has contracted Limerick Twenty Thirty to deliver the project on its behalf. This is the first use of this delivery model. LTT had completed the site wide basement works for the campus in 2025 and the adjoining One Opera Square Building - a joint venture with the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund.

The OPW building will take 30 months to complete, with fit-out to follow. Up to 300 workers will be employed during the construction phase. As a hub for government departments in the Mid-West, the office block will consolidate up to 1,500 civil servants - 950 at any one time in a hybrid working model – in one location in high-quality accommodation while reducing the number of buildings in the OPW portfolio.

It will deliver 100,000 sq. ft. of office space in a building that will achieve the NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) standard. NZEB is a standard achieved by high-performance buildings with very low energy consumption and in this case, all energy needs will be met by renewables. The building will, therefore, advance the State’s objectives of meeting its energy efficiency and emissions targets.
