STRATEGY
Building 50%+ vacant at time of purchase. Poor asset management from previous owners had left the property ‘off the map’ for prospective tenants and their agents.
Reposition building through refurbishment to common areas and vacant floors and position as a premium office building in Tallaght.. Work to include:
- Refurbishment of reception, toilet cores and lift lobbies.
- Re-design of building entrance and exterior parking, including the additional of e-charge stations.
- Creation of end of trip facility for cyclists, including bike store, shower + changing rooms and drying rooms.Following the completion of this work, building will be re-launched to the Dublin commercial agents. Building refurbishment and reposition will also support strong rent reviews of current tenants.
Rely on re-emergence of Tallaght as a desirable location for companies to have a presence in.
