The Elysian is a mixed-use Celtic Tiger-era building at Eglinton Street in Cork, Ireland.

It consists of a number of connected 6-8 storey buildings, with a 17-storey[7][8] tower on the southwest corner of the site.

The tower is 68.28 metres (224 ft)[9] to the top floor, making it the third tallest storeyed building in the Republic of Ireland.

[10] The building opened during an economic crisis in Ireland and by late April 2009, 80% of the 211 apartments remained unsold and 50% of the commercial units were vacant.

[citation needed] In January 2010, developer O'Flynn Construction's debts of €1.8bn were acquired by the National Asset Management Agency, which bundled them as "Project Tower" and sold them for €1.1bn in May 2014 to Carbon Finance, a subsidiary of The Blackstone Group.
