Offers in excess of €3.45 million are being invited for the penthouse office suites in the Capel Building at Mary's Abbey in Dublin city centre.
The sale of numbers 501-506 at the Capel Building presents the purchaser with the opportunity to secure an immediate return of 6.74 per cent after allowing for standard acquisition costs of 9.96 per cent. The incoming owner can immediately increase the rent roll by letting the vacant car-parking spaces.
The subject property is currently fully let to Storm Technology, a company acknowledged as one of Ireland's leading experts in digital enterprise solutions, by way of a 10-year lease from February 2019, with a passing rent of €255,667 per annum. The lease provides for a fixed uplift to €284,075 in years six to 10. The tenant has the benefit of a break option at the end of year five (subject to six months' notice). The two secure car-parking spaces are vacant but capable of achieving €5,600 per annum, according to Stephen Conway, who is handling the sale on behalf of Colliers.
Readily accessible
