Riverpoint is a two-tower mixed-use building complex located in Limerick, Ireland. Standing at 58.52 metres (192.0 feet)[5] it is currently the eighth-tallest storeyed building in the nation, the sixteenth-tallest on the island of Ireland and the third-tallest in Munster after the Cork County Hall and The Elysian, both in Cork. The Riverpoint tower is 1.5 m (4.9 ft) taller than the nearby Clayton Hotel, which at 57.0 m (187.0 ft) is the tallest hotel in Ireland.[6] The Riverpoint development as a whole forms most of the block surrounded by Henry Street, Lower Mallow Street, the Bishop's Quay and Mill Lane. The only other buildings on the site are an apartment building on the corner of Lower Mallow Street and Henry Street, and Estuary House on Henry Street.
