DUBLINBIKES DOCKING STATION 16 GEORGES QUAY
George's Quay is on the southern bank of the River Liffey. It is located between Burgh Quay and Hawkins Street to the west, and City Quay and Talbot Memorial Bridge to the east.
Though earlier land-reclamation along the Liffey's south-eastern banks had allowed for construction in the area, as evidenced by the quay's name, its current layout derives from Dublin's "Georgian" development period in the 18th century. Most remaining buildings on the quay however date from 19th and (predominantly) 20th century construction. Since 2000 a number of entities have published plans for increased development in the area - including Dublin City Council (in 2008) and CIE (Córas Iompair Éireann) in 2015.
The quay is fronted primarily by George's Quay Plaza - a complex of buildings located between Hawkins street and Lombard Street. It is sometimes jokingly referred to as "Canary Dwarf" in reference to Canary Wharf in London. The 13 story complex faces the Custom House and, at 58.8 metres (193 ft) high, is one of the tallest in the capital after Liberty Hall. Completed in 2002, it was designed by KMD Architecture, and houses the headquarters of Ulster Bank.
