A 10-year old office block which is fully occupied close to the Point Village in Dublin’s north docks is to be sold as an investment at a yield of 7.5 per cent.

Separately, an adjoining 324sq m (3,459sq ft) retail unit let to Spar at €80,000 per annum is for sale at €1.1 million, representing a yield of 7 per cent.

Agent JLL is guiding €3.2 million for Castleforbes House which forms part of Castleforbes Square developed by Liam Carroll’s Danninger company before it collapsed in the property crash.
