Big Four accountant and advisory business looking to nearly double its office space in city centre
Outgoing Taoiseach Leo Varadkar with Frank O Keeffe, managing partner of EY Ireland, following a significant business announcement at the firm's current office at the EY Building in Dublin's Harcourt Centreheadquarters down to two locations, one of which is situated just across the street from its existing offices at the Harcourt Centre on Harcourt Street.
The Big Four accounting and consulting firm set out last May to find about 200,000sq ft of space with a view to accommodating the growth of its Dublin-based workforce. The company currently occupies about 100,000sq ft in a cluster of offices at the Harcourt Centre, which it leases from the Kenny family’s Clancourt Group. That space gives it the capacity for up to 1,000 of the 4,800 people it employs across 10 offices in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford.
Having drawn up a shortlist of four potential office locations last September, EY has reduced that list to two contenders. In the first instance, it is looking at the possibility of relocating to Harcourt Place, a new office scheme to be built by its current landlord, the Clancourt Group, on a 0.54-hectare site the developer has assembled at the intersection of Charlemont Street, Harcourt Road and South Richmond Street.
EY’s other option, The Irish Times understands, is to move from its longstanding home on Harcourt Street altogether, and to relocate to Wilton Park, the 53,885sq m office campus developed by Irish property company, Iput, at Wilton Place.
