the N4 Dublin Road. There is under croft car parking for over 33 large cars and storage space at rear of the
ground floor plus surface car parking spaces at the front of the building.

The office block was built in 2006 and its design could allow for office or retail use on the ground floor. The
property has glazing in place but is mainly in shell and core condition pending retail/office fit out.

two lifts and a comms room plus area for toilets and services. There are two other stairways up through the
front of building that can allow for subdivision of the floors. The ground floor has excellent floor to ceiling

311 sq.m. (3,347 sq.ft.), a rear left unit 335 sq.m. (3,605 sq.ft.) and a rear right unit 381 sq.m. (4,101 sq.ft.).

The first floor has six internal stair cores and two lifts servicing the building. The front and rear office
block is divided by a large roof garden that runs the full width of the building. There could be potential
to create a large terrace garden area in this space or even look to enclose it with a glass roof subject
