Central Bank confirmed as buyer on the old Anglo building, for €7million. Say they’re moving all staff except those in the currency centre.
Assuming the North Wall Quay building is up and running by early 2015; I suspect that there will be a significant shortage of grade A office space in Dublin City Centre; I suspect hotels will continue to be dramatically over supplied and the social and affordable requirements render residential a non-runner in even a moderately improved climate.
Someone should let the IDA know that this is available late 2015 allowing 9 months for a full refit; new glazing and M & E services and this is a fantiastic EMEA HQ for a technology or media firm; who ever thought bankers should have such proximity to the nightlife of Temple Bar?
3 years should see office rents on a par with Edinburgh by that time for temperature controlled offices.

It’s a little bit hazy:

The 22,500sq m Docklands building is designed by Henry J Lyons and is intended to complement the Criminal Courts of Justice building further along the Liffey, which was also designed by the Irish architects.
In what way? I guess they book end the city centre…
Like a grand shopping mall with the two anchor tenants on either end, the law(yers) on one end and the bank(s) and all the small people in between.
what did the orginal design look like?

They moved the bank to get a more secure and faster Internet connection.
It’s also harder to protest because it’s not so central anymore?
Should a central bank be in a central location?
They should of left the skeleton as a reminder of the damage done!
It’s a shame the Irishtimes has its arms twisted like a triangle.
