Brown Corrigan Chartered Surveyors is quoting more than €550,000 for a well-designed commercial office investment at 10 Castlewood Place, which will show a return of 7 per cent. Castlewood Place is near The Swan shopping centre.
The three-storey office has a gross internal area of 223sq m (2,400sq ft) and is let to Zinc Design Consultants at a rent of €40,000 per annum. The lease commenced in 2005 and is due to run until May 2020.
Peter Brown of the selling agent said the 7 per cent yield on the building represents good value considering the high quality and architectural design of the building and the secure tenancy.
