The Geranger Ltd consortium, including U2 and management, has won the bid to build the 600ft luxury apartment block that is to be the tallest building in Ireland and the location of the band’s new recording studio.
The studio will be egg-shaped and placed at the top of the tower, hanging from a cluster of vertical wind turbines and a huge solar panel.
Although the majority of apartments in the building will be ‘luxury’ and a 5-star hotel will be built in an adjoining building, there’s also room for 34 ‘social and affordable flats’. Fans, start queuing now! Your new digs will be ready in 2011.

That looks dangerous. I sure wouldn’t want to spend any length of time in a dangling egg hundreds of feet in the air.

From @U2.com:
While speaking at the Mortage Bankers Association annual convention in Boston, Massachusetts today, Bono gave an update or two about his general hyperactivity with projects. He said that once his speaking engagements in America conclude that he’ll be focusing all his energy on the recording of the next U2 album. He is aware that his activism is once again impacting recording studio time, but he wanted to reassure people the next album will be released in 2008.
