Proposed 5-Tower / public square scheme greenlit - Holliday Street

I haven't noticed this mentioned elsewhere, but plans have apparently been greenlit for a complex of 5 buildings (Hotel + 4) between 10 and 49 storeys ranged around a new public square off Holliday St. described as 'A significant public realm improvement'.

A mix of uses but majoring on student accomm. and family living with one tower being homes for purchase not rent.

Maybe an improvement for students. not sure about the "public realm". The phrase sounds pompous and meaningless , and , while perhaps it means something to politicians and property developers, , do not think it means anything in real life
