Office specialist plans to invest €200m over three years

Fine Grain has a presence in Limerick, Dublin, Cork, Athlone and Galway

The company’s modus operandi is to identify “overlooked or under-managed properties, where the existing owner may be looking to let go of it”.

A company that has spent €200m turning redundant or underused office blocks — mainly in business parks — into tailor-made office accommodation is preparing to invest another €200m over the next two to three years.

Irish-owned Fine Grain Property has invested in 15 properties across the country, in some cases buying entire business parks such as the 40-acre Westpark business campus in Shannon, Co Clare, where they have planning permission for an additional three buildings.
