Technology top-up at Mahon's City Gate back to 100%

Two US-based IT companies have stepped into the space at John Cleary Developments’ City Gate scheme in Mahon, which had been vacated by Tyco and Ardmore Shipping, as those two expanding companies moved last month to JCD’s new landmark One Albert Quay block in the city centre.

The arrival of c 100 jobs at the two US technology companies — SimpliVity and Parade Technologies — brings City Gate and City Gate Park, back to full occupancy of an incredible 660,000 sq ft of suburban office development, much of it built and occupied during the Irish economy’s downturn.

Now also this year, developers JCD will embark on their third, equally major, Mahon office development to be called City Gate Plaza, on the now-cleared former M/A-COM site between the CSO and the original City Gate.
