Following the recent expiration of the lease with UK footwear retailer Schuh, number 47/48 O’Connell Street, a high-profile building on Dublin city centre’s foremost thoroughfare, is seeking a new occupier.

Located on the busiest section of O’Connell Street between its intersections with O’Connell Bridge and Middle Abbey Street and close to the GPO, the property comprises more than 313 sq m (3,375 sq ft) of retail accommodation at ground and mezzanine levels with additional ancillary accommodation at its basement and upper-floor levels.
