The Elysian is a mixed-use Celtic Tiger-era building at Eglinton Street in Cork, Ireland.[5] Construction of the building was completed in early September 2008.[6] When built it was the tallest building in the Republic of Ireland. It was overtaken by Capital Dock in the Dublin Docklands in 2018. It now stands as the third tallest building in the Republic of Ireland and tallest in Cork.
