About the Dublin 7 office market
Dublin 7 is a postcode that has been discovered and rediscovered by successive waves of Dublin businesses - each one attracted by the combination of city proximity, lower rents than D2, and an environment that feels genuinely different to the conventional office districts. Smithfield was the first major commercial draw; Stoneybatter and Capel Street have followed; Grangegorman is the newest and most significant addition.
The occupier profile across D7 leans creative, technology-adjacent, and professionally diverse. Law firms from the Four Courts, media and communications businesses, technology start-ups, and professional services practices are all represented. The common characteristic is a preference for character and environment over corporate convention.
Rents across D7 are lower than D2 or D4 equivalents, and supply - while limited - is more flexible. The best spaces in Smithfield and Stoneybatter come and go quickly; the Grangegorman campus and Capel Street market offer more structured availability for businesses that plan ahead.
