OpenAI looks set to grow its Dublin-based workforce significantly, with a plan to move into a new European headquarters office capable of accommodating over 400 workers. The ChatGPT creator is understood to have narrowed its search for some 45,000 sq ft (4,181 sq m) of office space down to two potential locations in Dublin’s city centre and south docklands. Workday signed a deal last year for all 38,648 sq m (416,000 sq ft) of College Square’s “super-prime” office space. The scheme comprises 540,000 sq ft of grade A office accommodation in total along with 54 apartments and 17,000 sq ft of retail space. Should OpenAI choose instead to locate its offices at the Tropical Fruit Warehouse, it would take on space TikTok had intended to use for the expansion of its own Dublin operations.
