A newly refurbished former bank building in a prime trading pitch at 12 St Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2, is certain to be targeted by a range of traders when it goes on the letting market today. Joint agents Savills and Weir & Conway are quoting a rent of €275,000 for the building which is located between Grafton Street and Dawson Street and has a floor area of 492sq m (5,295sq ft) over five levels.

The open-plan retail area on the ground floor extends to 161sq m (1,732sq ft) with an ancillary basement store of 96sq m (1,033sq ft).The upper floors are ideal for offices and there is also a private rooftop terrace on the building which is reported to have been sold last year for €2,925,000.

Stephen McCarthy of Savills has described the upgraded property as a “magnificent building” which should attract considerable interest from retailers and office users because of its prime location and flexible configuration, as well as the scarcity of such facilities in the city centre.
