US tech giant HubSpot is close to signing a deal for a new European headquarters office in the Sobo district in the Dublin Docklands, the Sunday Independent has revealed. The marketing software company is understood to be in advanced negotiations with Hibernia Reit with a view to leasing all 115,000 sq ft of space at 1 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay. 1SJRQ is due for completion in the coming months, along with Hibernia Reit’s scheme at 2 Windmill Lane.
HubSpot’s move to SJRQ from its existing EMEA headquarters shows its intent on growing its Dublin-based workforce. While the company employs more than 500 people at Hibernia Reit’s One and Two Docklands Central buildings on Guild Street in the IFSC, the new offices at 1SJRQ will have the capacity for over 900 employees.
Founded by Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah in June 2006 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, HubSpot has over 48,000 customers worldwide.
