HOK nabs a prime spot in Phibsboro

Although HOK Residential is the last of no less than four estate agencies to open in Phibsboro, it has managed to get the best location of the lot. Its new premises is located slap bang on Doyles Corner, one of the busiest junctions in the north inner city. Happily for HOK, it has picked up a good deal of new business this year and it seems as though its new blue skies look and extensive advertising is paying off. A few years ago, the old-style Hamilton Osborne King would have shuddered at selling a house in Dublin 7 but times have changed, and all the big agencies are now scouring these trendy neighbourhoods for business.
