Savills has been appointed to sell Shelbourne House in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, as well as property at the Clayton Hotel in Dublin 2.

Shelbourne House is a mixed-use building with a guide price is in excess of €31m.

Ballsbridge is a vibrant commercial hub and has seen significant redevelopment in recent times.

The area is recognised as Dublin’s premier residential business and embassy district and is considered a distinguished residential address.

Ballsbridge is also home to many of Ireland’s major international occupiers such as Eirgrid, IBM and AIB Bankcentre along with various government and embassy entities.

Domhnaill O’Sullivan of Savills commented: “Given the central location of Shelbourne House within Ballsbridge, the high calibre of tenants, in conjunction with an investor appetite to undertake some refurbishments if tenants vacate and increase value through rental growth, we anticipate a strong level of interest in the property from both international and local investors.”
