There were three apartments but mine was the only one that was occupied. I think that the building is now named Wentworth House and it may have been home to a language college. I was offered all three apartments at a very good price but decided against buying as there was serious anti-social activity in the immediate area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google bought the Treasury Building from Ronan Group Real Estate for \u20ac120 million in early 2020 to further expand their Silicon Docks campus which is nearby. In February 2022 Dublin City Council granted planning permission to Google Ireland to increase the height of the building from six to eight storeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Treasury Building was the headquarters of the Irish government\u2019s National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) for many years. Redeveloped by Ronan Group, the Treasury Building was described as a landmark six-storey Grade A office building that previously housed Boland\u2019s Bakery. This historic building was occupied by \u00c9amon de Valera, later President of Ireland, during the 1916 Easter Rising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following its purchase in 1984, a major redevelopment saw the building stripped back to its concrete framed structure and reimagined for a new commercial future with the first 20,000 sq ft floorplates ever delivered in the Irish market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rowan Gillespie was commissioned to create a sculpture for the outside wall of the building. The statue, named &#8216;Aspiration&#8217;, was originally of a naked man climbing the outside wall, but Johnny Ronan insisted that the sculpture be changed to a woman. The statue was made of fibreglass. The sculpture was removed in 2020 when the building was sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-vivid-purple-color has-alpha-channel-opacity
