The redevelopment will include receptions located at Grand Canal Square and Cardiff Lane. Amenities will include a business lounge, ground floor café with external seating, flexible workspace, a private gym and wellness suite, and a communal roof terrace with panoramic waterfront views.
A seven-storey glazed atrium will support collaborative working.
“4/5 Grand Canal Square is one of Dublin’s most prominent office buildings and this refurbishment represents a significant investment in the future of the city’s business district. By retaining the existing structure, and reimagining it to the very highest sustainability standards, we are setting a new benchmark for low-carbon development in Dublin,” said Union Investment asset manager Seb Wilson.
“With its exceptional location, premium amenity offering, and best-in-class environmental credentials, we believe 4/5 Grand Canal Square will be one of the most attractive workplaces in Europe when it completes in 2027.”
Union Investment bought the building in 2015 in a deal believed to have been worth €230m. In 2023, Meta opened its headquarters in Ballsbridge in Dublin, with additional sites in Meath where its data centre is located and Cork, which is home to Reality Labs.
