Retail opportunities at Lucan and Kiltipper

Two neighbourhood retail investments are new to the market this week through agent Cushman & Wakefield.

The first, at Rosse Court in Lucan, Co Dublin, consists of nine shop units and is guiding €1.8 million. These shops, extending to a combined 1,182sq m (12,722sq ft), produce a rent roll of €188,600 a year which is set to rise to €193,600 in October 2019 and €198,600 in October 2020. This would suggest a net initial yield of 9.66 per cent rising to 10.17 per cent when the rent increase kicks in.

Rosse Court is just off the M50 and within striking distance of the Clondalkin/Fonthill commuter line. It is close to schools and situated within a well-established residential development.

Close to Tallaght

Units 1-4 at Marlfield Mall in Kiltipper, Dublin 24, is guiding €1.25 million to reflect a net initial yield of 9.68 per cent. This modern neighbourhood centre is in a high-density residential area close to Tallaght.
