This site, which is one of the best undeveloped sites in the central area, is strategically located on the waterfront in the south Docklands, overlooking the River Liffey and beside the Samuel Beckett Bridge. This is likely to be one of the most important and largest south docklands properties to come to the market during 2015.
This is a rare opportunity for developers, investors, institutions and funds to acquire a prime city centre property with potential for large scale office and residential development. Many of the surrounding waterfront and other sites have been developed which has resulted in a transformation of the area. Nearby existing occupiers include Three Mobile, McCann Fitzgerald, Facebook and Verizon. The location benefits from frontage directly onto the River Liffey.
One of the key ingredients of success for the area is accessibility to public transport being within easy walking distance of Tara Street DART Station, Connolly Station, Pearse Street DART and Commuter Rail Stations as well as the Luas Green line at St. Stephen's Green and The Red line Luas in the IFSC. Numerous Dublin Bus routes also serve the area and Busaras is close by.
The site contains the former British and Irish Steam Packet Company Office built in 1909 and which consist of two main levels with a further floor in the attractive “gambrel” roof structure. The company started out in 1836 running paddle steamers between the two islands. The building extends to approximately 600 sqm. of gross internal area and is on the Record of Protected Structures. There are various warehouses and other buildings on the site which have been let out temporarily over the years.
