According to today’s Irish Times (Wednesday commercial property section) it is the largest Alsop auction in Ireland so far. Seems to be about 50/50 commercial vs residential properties I think.
Not as a residential property, it’s got no land around it. Multi-discipline clinic / professional offices? Certainly.
I’d bet it’s listed and being situated right across from the planning office, there wouldn’t be much opportunity of ducking under the regs governing renovating such buildings…
How did they get a yellow brick ramp built in front of it then. It is a monstrosity. But then again experience has shown that councils can build whatever they like irrespective of how incongruous it is with teh existing built environment and I’m not just refering to the bunkers on the quays.
Back when I lived in Dublin (1980’s), auctions were a relatively common and accepted feature of the market particularly at the upper end. Seems much less so now. Is it just that Allsop distress auctions and the like have given auctions a bad rap, or is there something else going on that I should know about?
Just saw that, all the ‘protesters’ were missing were pitchforks and flaming torches, why are Allsop putting up with this lot - do they see it as a PR win in some way? Have they forgotten what Constant Markievicz gave his/her life for in that park over there?
