218 sq.m.    2,346 sq.ft. Commercial Rates   approx. €10,000 p.a. Service Charge / Building Insurance Costs approx. €2,500 p.a. This is an excellent opportunity to rent a high profile corner retail unit in the Staycity 340 Apart Hotel complex on the corner of Little Green Street that is located directly opposite the iconic Hacienda Bar and the Smithfield Fruit markets. This retail unit is located less than 100 meters to the west of Capel Street, which is a very busy pedestrianised street with a host of busy pubs, cafes and restaurants that intersects Mary Street and has a vibrant nightlife. The Staycity building comprises 340 individual apartments with a large reception and breakout area and onsite gym and facilities with a south facing external seating area in front of this corner retail unit which is less than 50 meters from the main entrance to the Smithfield Fruit & Vegetable market. DCC have already commenced an estimated 44 million euro in refurbishment works on the 6,000 sq.m. Smithfield Fruit Market and have replaced the roof, these works are expected to be fully completed in late 2027/ early 2028 to accommodate a food market with provision for cafes, farmers market and event space that will appeal to the local Dublin market and tourists. The newly refurbished Fruit Market will attract very large footfall to the immediate area that will in turn benefit the Little Mary Street retail/ restaurant unit with more potential customers and fresh food produce straight from the markets. Little Mary Street is only a short walking distance of 230 meters from the landmark Church Bar on the corner of Jervis Street and Henry Street, the Jervis Shopping Centre, Ilac Shopping Centre, the Special Criminal Courts and Four Courts, the Jervis Street LUAS station and the proposed northern quarter retail development to the west of O'Connell Street. The property is only a short walking distance of 350 meters from the Jervis LUAS station and is less than 450 meters from Temple Bar and 500 meters from the Jameson Distillery and Smithfield Square, all of which bring large potential customer numbers to the area. In addition to the Special Criminal Courts on Green Street which is less than 150 meters from Staycity there are several other Law Courts, Hotels and offices located nearby including the Four Courts, Circuit Family Court, The Bar of Ireland, Brown Bag Films, Jameson Visitor Centre, Smithfield Market and viewing tower, The OPW, The Distillers Building. Description This high profile corner retail unit has been fitted out to a very high standard and design by Staycity and offers a very bright and spacious retail/ restaurant unit with a redbrick façade and excellent floor to ceiling height windows with external awnings overhead and a large south facing external seating area. This prominent retail unit comprises 218 sq.m. on a single floor and has a prominent double door main entrance on Little Mary Street and a second entrance on Little Green Street. There is a large south facing cobble lock area directly outside the Little Mary Street which may be used for external seating, subject to landlords consent and license. The retail unit may be able to accommodate a variety of potential retail uses including a large café/ restaurant with internal seating for approx. 80 customers as well as external seating for approx. 20 customers on Little Mary Street, Subject to Planning Permission. We feel that a restaurant will automatically benefit from some of the 340 apartments and approximately 700 visitors a night from Staycity who may look to eat on site while staying in their short stay apartment accommodation. The interior is currently in shell and core condition but Staycity have already provided 3 phase power supply and pop up points to accommodate kitchen and toilet water and waste services. Staycity have a professional team that can work with a restaurant operator and their design team on their proposed fit out works to include toilets and kitchen air extraction etc. ========================================================================= The immediate area has seen very strong development as a result of the HARP tax incentivized regeneration programme along the LUAS line and the later impact of the arrival of the LUAS cross city connection with the Green line. This area is very popular with legal, design and IT firms and we have seen very strong demand from office tenants and hotel/ short term stay apartments and tenants that are looking to move into this immediate area. The property is within a short walking distance of 450 meters from TU Bolton Street and 1.4 kilometers from TU Grangegorman, which has approx. 22,000 students and staff attending on a daily basis during college term. The nearby Jervis LUAS station also provides excellent access along the Quays, to TU Grangegorman and the IFSC as well as the cross city connection to the Green line and Cherrywood . In addition to this there are several large OPW office blocks in this area including the DPPs office, the Law Society, Capel Building on Marys Abbey, Jervis House, Millennium House, Chapel House and Chapter House. This is a very popular secondary area for office, residential and hotel use and it is also in strong demand from café/restaurant operators that are looking to establish a ground floor presence close to an excellent public transport network. Office staff will benefit from the close proximity to 5 hotels and Stay City apartments.
