Global drinks giant Mark Anthony Brands International has signed a new 12-year lease to occupy the sixth and seventh floors at One Charlemont Square in Dublin city centre.
The agreement will see the company move from its existing base at Donnybrook House in Dublin 4 and expand its footprint to 4,088 sq m (44,000 sq ft).
The new office will serve as Mark Anthony’s European headquarters. While the rental level has not been disclosed, the company is understood to be paying about €57 per sq ft.
Developed by McGarrell Reilly, the wider Charlemont Square scheme comprises 32,981 sq m (355,000 sq ft) of office space across two buildings with 2,787 sq m (30,000 sq ft) of dining and retail space and over 200 private rental apartments.
