Shared workspace provider WeWork is set to lease the office space at the former Central Bank on Dame Street. The New York-based company provides shared workspace locations all over the world.
It will occupy eight floors at the building, which is currently being redeveloped by US property giant Hines and Hong Kong company Peterson. The iconic property was acquired for €67m as the Central Bank moved to the Docklands area.
The former Central Bank premises – now known as Central Plaza – will have a total of 12,500sq m of offices, as well as fashion, food and beverage outlets.
Central Plaza is part of an overall masterplan that includes adjoining properties at 6-8 College Green, 9 College Green and 2 Central Plaza, comprising the former annex and commercial buildings on Dame Street.
Brian Moran, senior managing director of Hines, said Central Plaza would accommodate over 1,300 professional workers and create 300 full- and part-time retail and hospitality jobs.
