Fitness firm Peloton seeking office space for 700 workers in Cork's city centre

It is one of the single largest office requests for Cork in recent times, joining Apple and Amazon who also are expanding their Cork presence.

Sources say if the jobs are what's described as back-office, they will not be likely to pay the current rent levels of €30 per square foot being achieved in the newest blocks lining the city quays.

Estate agents in Cork have been asked this week to propose a city-centre office location for up to 700 jobs, believed to be for at-home fitness and exercise company Peloton whose business has soared due to Covid-19 stay at home demands.

The request for Cork back-office space of 65,000-70,000 sq ft has come from London agency CBRE, without identifying Peloton as the client.
