Glandore, a provider of high-end flexible workspaces including private offices, coworking and meeting rooms in Dublin, Cork and Belfast, has agreed a 20 year lease at a rent of €1.4m p.a. for Bottleworks.
Bottleworks, on the site of a former glass factory, is located on Barrow Street in Dublin 4 and boasts a superbly designed open-plan workspace developed to the highest standards with a vision for the future of work central to its inspiration. Bottleworks, designed by Henry J Lyons, has recently won the RIAI award for 'Best Workplace and Fit-Out’, was also placed third in the RIAI Public Choice Award and won a Construction Excellence Award. John Sisk & Son were the contractor for the project and Bottleworks achieved a NZEB performance specification.
The vibrant space in the heart of Dublin’s ‘Silicon Docks’ offers a collaborative working space – ideal for Glandore and its clients – designed to accommodate a range of flexible working options. Extending to over 26,000 sq/ft over 5 floors, Bottleworks features a variety of fully serviced workspaces, meeting rooms and leisure space and is also equipped with a café and attractive external courtyards.
Glandore was founded in 2001 by Michael Kelly, who now runs the business with his three daughters and Directors, Fiona, Clare and Rebecca who bring over 40 years of industry experience with them. Since 2001, the Kelly family has seen the operation grow from one employee to nearly 80 employees, and from offering 75 desks to now offering over 4,000 desks and private offices in Dublin, Belfast and Cork.
Jones Investments were advised by Savills while Browne Corrigan advised Glandore. Bottleworks was developed by Jones Investments, which has established an enviable track record for providing high end office accommodation to some of the biggest names in the technology sector. With more than 25 years’ combined experience, the team at Jones Investments has been responsible for the development of Facebook’s original headquarters at Hanover Quay, the redevelopment of the Dockmill Building on Barrow Street which it subsequently sold to Google and more recently the reimagining of The One Building for international payments company Stripe.
