RENTALS:AT €10,000 a month the penthouses in the Alto Vetro residential tower are among the most expensive apartments in Dublin.

Treasury Holdings' 16-storey apartment tower, at the corner of Pearse Street and Grand Canal Basin in Dublin 2, has elevations made entirely from glass.

Developer Treasury Holdings has pulled out all the stops to create a chic city pad. Apartments range in size from 79sq m (850sq ft) to 232sq m (2,500sq ft) and come complete with custom-made furniture.

Style at this level doesn't come cheap and selling agent Sherry FitzGerald is looking for rents ranging from €2,250 to €3,000 for two-bed units.

At the top end are two three-bedroom triplex penthouses with roof gardens which are quoting €8,000-€10,000 - making them among the most expensive rented apartments in the city, competing only with the likes of the two-bedroom apartments at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Treasury Holdings says interest has been strong since the advertising boards went up last week and a deal has been struck on two apartments.

The building doesn't have parking on site but it is available at an extra cost close by, according to a spokeswoman for the developer.
