·   HIGH PROFILE UNIT LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE IFSC

·   TWO STOREY STAND ALONE UNIT OF 110 sqm / 1,190 sq.ft.

This is an excellent opportunity to let a magnificent high profile cafe /shop located in the heart of the IFSC, with substantial retail frontage onto Mayor Square.

LOCATION

An exceptionally high profile two storey café / shop premises, this standalone unit was formerly occupied by Starbucks Coffee Company and is located opposite the National College of Ireland.  Unit 1 Mayor St. is situated between Mayor Square / NCI LUAS stop on one side and AIB Bank and Marks and Spencer on the other side.

Mayor Square forms part of the centre of Ireland’s premier business and financial district where thousands of professionals are employed in financial services and other related businesses. There are also many people living in the large number of apartment schemes located throughout the IFSC.  

The café / shop unit is close to Sean O'Casey Bridge and the new Samuel Beckett Bridge both of which form the primary access routes between the two main business districts in the IFSC / North Docks and South Docks / CBD.  Mayor Square also benefits from ease of pedestrian access to the quays via Excise Walk and is in close proximity to Connolly and Pearse St DART Station’s and other LUAS stops at Spencer Dock and Connolly. 

Café / shops in the area benefit greatly from being located on the main link for hundreds of concert goers on the way to the O² Arena and Point Village. There is also an opportunity to attract custom from the new Conference Centre Dublin which is located close by on Spencer Dock.

Mayor Square and its environs has an attractive offer that includes a wide range of cafes, restaurants, shops, bars and hotels. This enhances this location as an attractive area in which to dine, shop and enjoy the surrounding environment.

DESCRIPTION

The building itself has been designed to a very high standard to include full floor to ceiling height glazing on two elevations over the ground and first floor.

Previously there was an outdoor seating area located at the front of the premises on Mayor Square, which could provide an added ‘al fresco’ opportunity for a new café operator. 

The unit forms part of the original Excise Building which has been carefully adapted to retain most of the original architectural features including an impressive stone cut façade. Modern architectural features such as stone brick work and full height floor to ceiling glazing have been added to enhance the character of the building. 

At ground level the internal fit out includes suspended ceiling, recessed lighting, air conditioning, painted and plastered walls and the floor is partly tiled. There is a full complement of utilities and services for any potential operator, ready for fit out.  In addition there is a small kitchen/ wash up area, storage area and office located to the rear of the premises and the Disabled WC is also located just off the main service area. 

To the side of the ground floor service area there is a staircase leading to the first floor level which comprises a customer service area with tiled floor, ladies and gents and invalid WC, staff changing area and storeroom.

There are impressive panoramic views of Mayor Square at first floor level and the unique glazing design means there is a substantial amount of natural light at both levels. This gives the unit and added ambience of relaxation and space.
