This small modern self contained office building was built in the 1990’s and has a C BER rating. This mid terrace office overlooks an internal courtyard and has been cleverly designed to Georgian proportions and fitted out to a reasonably high standard to accommodate 5 offices, a store room and 2 bathrooms with an entrance lobby and internal staircase along the right hand side of the building, The office fit out includes perimeter trunking, electric storage heating, category 6 computer wiring, understairs storage, a boardroom, fluorescent lighting, skylights, under stairs storage space, carpet floor covering, glass partitions, power floated concrete slabs and a kitchenette.

The immediate Dublin 8 area has seen very strong development along Thomas Street, Fumbally Lane, Newmarket and recent development completions by Marlet at Grand Canal Harbour and the proposed Guinness Distillery development by Ballymore and Digital Hub redevelopment by the LDA. The Dublin 8 area and the north quays have benefitted as a result of the HARP tax incentivised regeneration programme along the LUAS line and the later impact of the arrival of the LUAS cross city connection with the Green line.
