The Covid-19 pandemic has encouraged one major office hunt in Cork City for fitness and health company Peloton, which is seeking space for up to 700 employees this year. Facebook, via agents Cushman & Wakefield, had been scoping considerable office space, capable of accommodating about 1,000 workers, for the start of 2022, according to sources. That would be in addition to its Oculus Cork presence, as well as its Dublin’s docklands and Ballsbridge offices. The request for ‘grade A’ office space of 65,000-70,000sq ft in Cork has come from CBRE in Cork and London, without formally identifying Peloton as the client. It's one of the single largest office requests for Cork in recent times, joining Apple and Amazon, which is also expanding its Cork presence.
