Nuritas to rent office block next to Mansion House

Biotech firm relocating to 16,000sq ft facilities at Joshua House on 20-year lease


Pioneering biotech start-up company Nuritas is relocating to Dublin's Dawson Street, where it will occupy the Joshua House office block next to the Mansion House.

The five-storey over-basement building is owned by Dublin City Council and has a net internal area of 1,486sq m (16,000sq ft). The 20-year lease includes a break option in year 10.

The firm, which is advised by Keith O’Neill of BNP Paribas Real Estate, data mines molecules in food and food byproducts to identify supplements and new drugs. Nuritas says it can find these peptides 10 times faster and 500 times more accurately while significantly reducing costs.

Nuritas has already developed and patented health improving ingredients that address global challenges across as broad a spectrum as inflammation, diabetes, ageing and MRSA.
