The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) is closing in on a deal for a new headquarters at the Clerys Quarter development on O’Connell Street in Dublin city centre. The agreement with the RTB will bring the consortium behind the Clerys Quarter a step closer to its objective of securing full occupancy for the scheme’s office element in advance of its plan to sell its remaining interests there. Developed on the site of the former Clerys department store, the Clerys Quarter scheme also includes 60,000sq ft of retail accommodation, most of which is occupied by Swedish fashion giant H&M and French sports retailer Decathlon, and a new 229-bedroom Premier Inn hotel which is under construction. The hotel is currently being offered to the market on behalf of Premier Inn’s owner, the Whitbread Group, on a forward-funding basis for €66.6 million. The company continues to trade and is seeking to pursue new development opportunities in Dublin city.”
