I must that I had not really noticed this new building before but I should have as I once worked for the British and Irish Steam Packet Company which originally occupied the site.
Apparently TikTok the Chinese-owned social media platform had considered occupying the property on a 12-year lease along with the Tropical Fruit Warehouse another new development on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay. My understanding is that TikTok proceeded with its plan to occupy the smaller property it cancelled its plan to lease the Shipping Office complex.
Since the acquisition of the first site in 2014, Marlet has grown to become one of Ireland’s largest independently owned property companies. Marlet now controls and manages property assets valued at over €2.5bn for its investors.
