Sam Stephenson-designed tower and two other lots come to market as Central Bank relocates

The move in coming months by the Central Bank to its new €140 million offices on Dublin’s North Wall Quay has resulted in the eagerly anticipated arrival to market of the iconic Sam Stephenson-designed tower by College Green and Temple Bar, along with two other lots, all with a combined value of €80 million.

The dramatic, 83,000 sq ft ‘loathe it or love it’ tower was deeply divisive when built in the 1970s, to an innovative design, and has gone on to be one of the capital’s most filmed and photographed 20th century structures, most notably on Central Bank-related news items.

It’s open to a range of new uses and redevelopment, from lofty hotel on the edge of Temple Bar and Trinity College to revamped offices, and also has plaza/retail development scope.
