Industrial property specialists Harvey are guiding a price of €1 million for Unit 8 at Plato Business Park in Dublin 15.

Situated within the Damastown Industrial Park, the property comprises a modern, semi-detached industrial warehouse facility with two-storey office accommodation, extending to 1,163sq m (12,519sq ft). It has a clear internal height of 8m (26 ft), two level access doors and ample car parking to the front and rear.

Unit 8 is leased in its entirety to 7-Day Auto Limited until August 25th, 2024. The annual rent is €90,000, following the settlement of a 2019 rent review. The lease is full repairing and insuring (FRI) subject to a schedule of condition, and the tenant has been trading successfully from the unit since 2004.

Prospective purchasers will note the tenant did not exercise its option to break the lease in 2019. The passing rent equates to €77.39 per sq m (€7.19 per sq ft), offering some reversionary potential based off more recent letting activity.
