Part of the First Floor together with 70 car spaces are let for a 10 year term from November 2018 providing immediate short term income.
The property is situated less than a 500 metre walk from the main street in Swords Village providing easy access to a wide range of restaurants, cafes and shops. Furthermore, Dublin Airport is within 4km of the site while the M1 Motorway is within 2km via Junction 4.
The Seatown Stop on the proposed MetroLink is to be positioned on the western element of the site which would greatly enhance the public transport offering of the site. In this regard, a section of the site is proposed to be permanently acquired to facilitate the construction of the stop. An additional area is to be required on a temporary basis during construction. A Railway Order has been submitted to An Bord Pleanála in this regard.
The property also falls under the Fingal Development Plan 2023 – 2029. Under the Plan, the entire site is zoned Objective MRE Metro and Rail Economic Corridor. The Objective of this zoning is to 'Facilitate opportunities for high-density mixed-use employment generating activity and commercial development and support the provision of an appropriate quantum of residential development within the Metro and Rail Economic Corridor'. Some of the uses Permitted in Principle include: Office, Residential, Retail, Education, Hotel, Conference Centre, Health Centre and Hospital.
The existing high quality office building is well maintained and allows an incoming purchaser scope to utilise the vacant space to secure income in the short term. Furthermore, given the proposed Seatown Stop and the MRE zoning of the site, there is scope for a medium term redevelopment to provide an appropriately designed, mixed-use scheme of scale subject to achieving the necessary consents.
