Global professional services firm Aon has pre-let 32,000 sq ft at IPUT Real Estate’s 15 George’s Quay office scheme in Dublin.
Aon will occupy part of the third floor and all of the fourth, fifth and sixth floors at the seven-storey, 70,300 sq ft building, which IPUT is redeveloping. The developer is retaining the existing structure, but will increase the size of building by around 40% thanks to the addition of two new floors.
As well as a new landscaped roof terrace and a new façade, the reimagined 15 St George’s Quay will be fully electric and meet global sustainability standards including BER A3, LEED Platinum and Well Gold.
Niall Gaffney, CEO of IPUT Real Estate, said: “We continue to see robust demand for our buildings. Occupiers are seeking attractive and sustainable work environments in prime city centre locations which supports our conviction in the future of the workplace. We are re-generating our office portfolio in the city centre, creating environmentally sustainable buildings with a focus on placemaking and the occupier experience. We are excited to welcome Aon to the IPUT portfolio and to provide them with a green building with market leading sustainability credentials.”
Rachael Ingle, CEO of Aon Ireland, added: “We’re delighted to announce our plans for our new office space in Dublin. With smart working and sustainability at the core of its design, our new building will provide a space that meets the modern needs of our workforce while helping to achieve our target of net-zero emissions by 2030.
“This investment reflects our commitment to harnessing the wide range of capabilities across our team while also looking after the wellbeing of our people by providing a workplace that will enable everyone to learn, develop and thrive.
“I’m confident that through our agreement with IPUT Real Estate, the team will have an inspiring space in which to deliver the most cutting-edge and innovative solutions to clients in all sectors of the economy. In a world that is more volatile than ever before, our team can best prepare our clients to manage through challenges and give them the clarity and confidence to make better decisions that protect and grow their businesses.”
The redevelopment of 15 George’s Quay has commenced and it is due to be completed during Q2 2024.
