Office MarketWith an ever increasing number of Dublin-based companies looking for new office accommodation, there is likely to be good interest in a newly completed block at Kilmainham Square on the western side of the city which has just come on the letting market.
The high quality building of 6,500sq m (70,000sq ft) is beside the four-star Hilton Kilmainham Hotel which has also been developed by John Lally's company Lalco.
Joint agents Hooke & MacDonald and CB Richard Ellis are quoting rents of €410 per sq m (€38 per sq ft) for the five-storey block which is ready for tenant fit-out.
Basement car-parking spaces will rent at €3,000 each.
While the preference will be to rent the block to a single tenant, the accommodation will also be available on a floor-by-floor basis in a range of sizes from 500sq m (5,382sq ft) upwards.
Lalco has skimped on nothing, finishing it out to the highest standards to include raised access floors and full air conditioning.
Apart from the hotel, other buildings in the development include the Old Chocolate Factory apartment complex which contains 227 apartments.
The Hilton Kilmainham Hotel is trading successfully with 120 bedrooms, conference facilities for up to 60 delegates, a restaurant/bar and bistro along with LivingWell Fitness Centre which includes a gym, pool, sauna and treatment rooms.
The office building was designed by architects Anthony Reddy & Associates. It has a flexible layout as well as changing rooms and showers together with a café/retail facility in an internal atrium area.
