About the North Dublin office market
North Dublin encompasses a wide geographic range - from the city-adjacent northside suburbs of D9 and D11 out to the M1 corridor and beyond. It is not a single market but a collection of distinct locations, each with its own character and strengths.
The common thread running through most North Dublin office locations is value. Desk rates and per-square-foot rents are typically 25-45% lower than comparable D2 space, while road access and parking provision are considerably better. For businesses whose clients and staff are northside-based, the case for staying north of the city - rather than commuting to D2 every day - is often compelling.
The strongest locations - Santry, Swords, and Blanchardstown in particular - have matured into serious office destinations with multinational occupiers, good quality stock, and the commercial infrastructure to support a business of any size. Drumcondra and the Airport Business District serve more specific needs but do so well.
Who should consider North Dublin?
- Businesses drawing staff from North County Dublin, Meath, Fingal, and the wider northside
- Operations, logistics, and support functions that need road access and parking more than a postcode
- Aviation and airport-connected businesses for whom Dublin Airport proximity is an operational requirement
- Technology, pharma, and financial services companies looking for large, modern space at competitive rates
- Businesses relocating from the city centre to reduce overheads without losing Dublin presence
