Google Has Snapped Up One Of The Largest Developments In The City

Google has bought the entire Bolands Quay development in the city centre, RTÉ reports.

The Grand Canal site received planning permission in 2015 and since then NAMA has provided funding for demolition and enabling works. The development comprises 28,000 sq metres of office space, 46 apartments, cafes and cultural space and will soon be home to three new buildings which will reach heights of 53 metres, 49 metres and 47.8 metres.

It's thought that Google, whose European headquarters are located nearby, will use the office accommodation for itself and let the remaining commercial premises and apartments.
