While there may be a current imbalance in favour of supply in the Dublin office space market, Willie Dowling from Colliers and Sam Daunt from CBRE are optimistic that their emphasis on creating premium, sustainable workspaces will distinguish the newly finalized Freight Building, under Glenveagh’s banner, from its rivals.
Nestled in North Dockland’s Point Square, the structure boasts 104,000sq ft of space spread across 10 levels. Standard areas measure 12,100sq ft, though leases as small as 3,500sq ft are available to potential tenants. DanuExp, a serviced-office centre, has already secured a 13,800sq ft space, expected to open in September. Glenveagh is gearing up to deck out the rest of the office, with profits to be divided between all involved parties.
The Freight Building is a suitable option for firms prioritising ESG (environmental, social and governance) objectives. The establishment has earned an A-rating for its energy consumption alongside recognitions such as LEED Gold, WELL Gold, and NZEB (nearly zero energy building). Additional features include a spacious, well-lit foyer, abundant bicycle storage, personal shower and locker facilities, high-speed lifts, and breezy balconies providing impressive Dublin views. To add to its appeal, it lies adjacent to the recently inaugurated Premier Inn Hotel, another project by Glenveagh.
The excellent connectivity of the Freight Building enhances its accessibility. Public transportation, courtesy of its close proximity to the Luas red-line stop at The Point, is convenient. Direct access to the southern part of the city is available via the nearby East Link Bridge, with the entrance to Dublin Port Tunnel, enabling swift connectivity to the motorway network and Dublin Airport, just around the corner.
Sam Daunt from CBRE comments: “A commitment towards maintaining superior sustainability credentials and an enriching user-experience is the driving force behind the design of The Freight Building. It’s the perfect solution for companies aiming for the best in office setup.”
