After acquir­ing the asset, Hines Glob­al imple­ment­ed ener­gy-con­ser­va­tion upgrades, build­ing improve­ments and an expan­sion which added 27,000 square feet. The more than 180,000-square-foot prop­er­ty is cur­rent­ly 100% leased with a weight­ed aver­age lease term of 11 years.

“The com­ple­tion of this trans­ac­tion in the cur­rent envi­ron­ment is fur­ther tes­ta­ment to the high qual­i­ty of the asset and the for­ti­tude of Hines’ local Irish team,” said Senior Man­ag­ing Direc­tor and Hines Global’s Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer, Jan­ice Walk­er. ​“We are very pleased to have pro­vid­ed such an excel­lent out­come for our investors.”
