€3.75m sought for west Dublin warehouse and offices

Also: Costa Coffee opens in Malahide Road centre

Agent CBRE is guiding €3.75 million for a warehouse and office building at Magna Business Park in west Dublin, which will show a net initial yield of 6.13 per cent. The single-storey warehouse and two-storey L-shaped offices extend to more than 2,937sq m (31,620sq ft) and are occupied by O’Brien’s Ingredients at a rent of €240,000. The lease has more than seven years to run.

Dublin’s industrial and logistics market has performed strongly over the past 12 to 18 months and is expected to continue to do well because of the scarcity of similar buildings.

Willy Norse of CBRE said the property would appeal to investors wanting to take advantage of the resurgence in the industrial market and also interested in taking a foothold in one of Dublin's premier industrial locations.
