€4m for Fianna Fail HQ on Mount Street

A DISTINCTIVE office building at 65-66 Lower Mount Street, Dublin 2, which has the Fianna Fáil headquarters on the ground floor and the remainder of the space vacant, is to be offered for sale at a knockdown price of €4 million.

DTZ is handling the sale for receiver David Carson of Deloitte.

Designed by Andrzej Wejchert and developed about 20 years ago, the building is in top class condition and ready for letting. The various floors range in size from 299 to 351sq m (3,218 to 3,778sq ft) with an overall floor area of 1,700sq m (18,298sq ft).

There are also 16 car-parking spaces at basement level.

Fianna Fail is currently paying a rent of €175,000 for the ground floor under a 25-year lease which has another 13 years to run.

The party has, however, a break option in 2015 once it gives 12 months notice.

Patricia Ward of DTZ said the fact that the selling price equates to only €2,357 per sq m (€219 per sq ft) – including the car-parking spaces – underlines the good value available.
