Café/Retail Unit, Harcourt Square/Charlotte Way, Dublin 2

Harcourt Square occupies a pivotal position at the junction of Harcourt Street and Charlotte Way in Dublin 2, one of the city’s most sought-after office districts. Harcourt Square is 345K sq ft and KPMG’s new Corporate HQ. The Harcourt Luas Stop is within 30 seconds of the subject cafe / restaurant / retail unit and the area boasts nearby notable occupiers such as Bank of Ireland, Mercer, Dropbox and many high quality hospitality and retail operators in the wider Camden and Harcourt Street area.

The overall development will achieve a BER A2 rating and LEED Platinum certification, incorporating marketleading sustainability credentials. The Cafe / Retail unit will benefit from strong passing trade generated by the substantial on-site workforce, surrounding businesses, heavy commuter flows along Harcourt Street, and its immediate proximity to the Camden Court Hotel and The Bleeding Horse. The area is extremely well served by public transport, with the Harcourt Luas stop only moments away and numerous Dublin Bus routes along Camden Street and St. Stephen’s Green.

The property comprises a self-contained ground floor café / retail unit extending to approximately 135 sq.m. (1,453 sq.ft.), with prominent frontage onto Charlotte Way. The unit forms part of the wider Harcourt Square development, which comprises approximately 345,000 sq.ft. of Grade A office accommodation and is to become KPMG’s new corporate headquarters.

The unit is positioned directly adjacent to the main office reception, providing excellent visibility and ease of access for both the on-site office population and external customers. Harcourt Square occupies a strong city centre location close to Harcourt Street, Camden Street, St. Stephen’s Green and Grafton Street, with the Harcourt Luas stop located less than 50 metres from the unit.

The surrounding area benefits from a strong mix of office occupiers, cafés, restaurants, hotels and hospitality operators, with nearby occupiers including KPMG, Bank of Ireland, Mercer, Dropbox, EY, Bank of America, Aviva and IDA Ireland.

The unit will be delivered in shell and core condition with a glazed shopfront and services brought to a point, allowing an incoming occupier flexibility to complete their own fit-out. The unit is well suited to an established café, food and beverage, casual dining or retail operator, subject to the necessary consents where required.

In relation to the services plan, the louvres above the entrance door are for the extract. Regarding drainage, as there is a tenant below, the drainage connection is located to the front of the door in a contained riser. Any drainage required would need to be run to this point, either gravity fed or pumped, depending on the final fit-out design.

This represents an excellent opportunity to secure a prominent café / retail unit within a new landmark office development in one of Dublin 2’s strongest commercial locations.
