Why should the ESB be converted to residential use? It isn’t like its a poor performing office complex and losing money. The fact its filled with tenants clearly shows its a desirable property for companies to have operations at. If the ESB was struggling to get tenants for revenue aside from that of tourism, a conversion would make more sense but its clearly popular and profitable enough in its current configuration that it really wouldn’t be necessary. ---

because the floor plate size is ideal for conversion unlike the 60-80s steal boxes that are vacant and cost too much to convert or they can just force all the proles back into the office 🙄 ---
