Office landlord Green Reit, which owns key properties in Dublin, including One Molesworth Street, George’s Quay and properties on Harcourt St, as well as One Albert Quay in Cork, has been sold for €1.34bn, confirming that the buyer is the British fund Henderson Park.

Green Reit shares climbed following its surprise decision to put itself on the market, but other stock market property listed firms failed to get a major lift.

The chief executive of Green REIT–the Dublin-focused commercial real estate developer — said the demand for top-grade office rentals in Cork will likely increase.

Ireland could be a location choice for firms in the burgeoning financial technology (fintech) industry post- Brexit, according to a report from KPMG.
