Two interlinking ground floor retail premises on Mary Street and Wolfe Tone Street in Dublin's north inner city are to be offered for sale by Knight Frank on the instructions of receivers Duff & Phelps.

Ross Fogarty of Knight Frank is seeking offers over €1.6 million for the two premises, which have a combined ground floor retail area of 1,447sq m ( 15,574sq ft).

The Mary Street premises has ancillary storage space at basement level and three upper floors in residential use, bringing the overall space on that street up to 343sq m (3,695sq ft). Numbers 32 to 36 Wolfe Tone Street have a further capacity of 1,104sq m (11,879sq ft)

Knight Frank said it was rare enough that a property with such a quantum of ground floor retail space came on the market in a vibrant city location. “The two properties present the larger retail, leisure, bar and restaurant providers with a significant market entry opportunity in one of the city’s busiest commercial locations. The area has one of the highest footfall figures of over 600,000 per week. The Mary Street premises is superbly placed to benefit from this large volume of passing trade.”
