CORTHE STEEL SIGN ON LOWER GRAND CANAL STREET
I must admit that the sign did not nearly as good as I remember it and I did not like the fact that I could see the supporting legs and I found them to be distracting. Also while attempting to photograph the sign an amazing number of people walked into frame considering that the area is usually deserted on bank holiday weekends.
Wnen I returned to Dublin from California in the early 1080s I rented an apartment in the Hertz Building at Hogan Place directly across from where the One Building is today. To be honest, I do not remember the Sam Stephenson building.
There were three apartments but I was the only private tenant and when I indicated that I was planning to leave they owners offered to sell me all three apartment at a price that was too good to be true and while I could rise the cash without needing a mortgage I decided not to buy as I had encountered a lot of anti-social behaviour while living there.
The One Building is a notable structure located on Lower Grand Canal Street in Dublin, Ireland. It was originally built in 1972 and designed by Irish architect Sam Stephenson. The property was purchased for €4.8 million in 2013 by Jones Investments Ltd, and an additional €7 million was invested in its refurbishment.
The One Building has been in the news recently for a couple of reasons:
Stripe’s New Headquarters: Stripe, the fast-growing e-commerce giant started by Irish brothers John and Patrick Collison, has moved its Irish offices to The One Building. Stripe was recently valued at $5 billion after raising close to $100 million from investors, including card giant Visa. The company plans to gradually grow its operations in Dublin.
Google’s Expansion: Google Ireland has secured planning permission for a new office scheme that will establish a new company campus at Grand Canal Street Lower in Dublin to accommodate 1,700 workers. This follows Dublin City Council granting planning permission to Google Ireland to increase the height of the Treasury Building on Grand Canal Street from six to eight storeys in an office scheme named Boland’s Bakery.
Boland’s Bakery will accommodate 1,100 workers while the nearby Johnny Ronan owned Annex building will accommodate a further 600 workers for Google.
These developments highlight the growing importance of The One Building and the surrounding area as a hub for tech companies in Dublin.
