German-based real estate fund Patrizia paid about €140 million in 2016 for the Oval in an off-market deal.

The scheme, which has more than 16,722sq m (180,000sq ft) of grade A offices as well as ground-floor retail units and a basement gym, was developed in 2006 and 2007 by Dublin investors, Phil Monahan, Pat Ryan, David Colgan and Finian McDonnell.

It includes a strikingly high original redbrick chimney which once formed part of a laundry dating back to 1912.

The name of the business was changed to the Swastika Laundry in 1939, and despite being a symbol of Nazi Germany the name and the logo continued to be used until the 1980s.
