With the investment market for smaller lot sizes humming at the moment, agent Knight Frank should have no difficulty in finding a buyer for a modern, fully let office investment in Dublin's International Financial Services Centre.

Adrian Truick of the agency is quoting €1.6 million for 1 Exchange Place, a four-storey office building with an overall floor area of 344sq m (3,710sq ft) and three car-parking spaces.

It is let to four tenants, including HSG Zander, Porche Financial Management Services and Lufthansa at an overall rent of €117, 285 per annum. While the average unexpired lease terms works out at 6.5 years, the leases to HSG Zander (with a rent of €41,000) and Porsche (€39,285) have unexpired terms of 8.45 years.

The end-of-terrace office building forms part of Exchange Place, where there are 10 units.

At a €1.6 million selling price, the investment will show a return of 7.25 per cent.
