Agents McNally Handy expect to set a new rent level of £45 per sq ft for Georgian office space when they let most of the former Arthur Cox headquarters at 42/43 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2. Both buildings were sold last May for around £4 million to the Boston College which is retaining around 1,500 sq ft on the ground and first floors of number 42. The remaining 1,700 sq ft is available for rent at £35 per sq ft for the basement and £45 for the other floor. The same rent is being sought for just over 4,000 sq ft in number 43 which, like number 42, is to be extensively refurbished and decorated under the expert guidance of the noted architect Austin Dunphy.
