Offices: Although the Dublin office market is in considerable difficulty, some parts of it are still thriving. Jack Fagan, Property Editor, reports.

Own-door offices suites in good locations are still letting well, nowhere more so than in Clontarf, where the MKN Property Group has found occupants for 14 of the 19 high quality office units in the Seapoint Building beside the Garda Station on Clontarf Road.

The five remaining own-door office suites ranging in size from 139.35 to 250.8 sq m (1,500 to 2,700 sq ft) are available to rent €301 per sq m (€28 per sq ft) or for sale at €4,574 per sq m (€425 per sq ft).

An underground car- park has 43 spaces and these are either for sale at €15,000 each or a rent of €950 per annum.

Office units have been finished to particularly high standard and have raised access floors, air conditioning, category 2 light fittings, carpet tiles and fully fitted carpets.

The tastefully finished block is close to the junction of the Alfie Byrne Road, making it accessible to both north and south Dublin as well as the city centre. It looks directly across Dublin Bay to East Point Business Park and is within a few minutes' walk of Clontarf Station.

The MKN Property Group has retained two units for its own use. Other units either in occupation or about to move in are Marren Engineering Ltd, mechanical and electrical engineers; Red Star Brand Promotions, brand promotion and marketing; Kieran Montgomery and Co, accountants; Laborpharm Europe, European office for a Canadian pharmaceutical plc; Red C Marketing, marketing research company; Michael B Costello, clothing distribution company; Smart Centgric Technologies International, smart card technologies solutions; Murray & Associates, landscape architects; Diatec Ltd, technology company and an engineering company
