Station Building 2

Nominated in the finalist category of Commercial fit out/refurbishment over €5 million in the Irish Construction Excellence Awards 2020, Station Building 2 is a unique workspace in the heart of Dublin’s central business district.

The project involved the refurbishment and restoration of part of the former Harcourt Street Train Station and more recently, the POD Nightclub, and it is a significant landmark in the city centre with renowned historical significance. The project therefore created a unique office space of 15.446 Sq Ft and retail works space of 6,000 Sq Ft rarely experienced in the current marketplace.

The Project includes a new public realm space adjoining the green Luas line on Harcourt, which will also create a new, vibrant external restaurant seating space. This has opened the streetscape between Harcourt Street and Hatch Street that helps the continuing regeneration of this area of Dublin.

The building offers a unique collaborative workspace with unmatched character. The building has been restored with great sensitivity and respect to its existing structure, and many of its original features are retained while also incorporating a full third generation office specification.

An impressive double-height reception area filled with natural light greets occupiers as they enter, and the office accommodation is located on the first (Platform) and second (Mezzanine) levels providing a bright and efficient working environment.

Station Building 2 forms part of the hugely successful Park Place scheme which overlooks the Iveagh Gardens on Hatch Street.

The space includes:

  • Iconic HQ office with unrivalled character.
  • Impressive double height reception with feature glazing.
  • 2 No. passenger lifts serving all floors.
  • Feature ceiling with exposed trusses.
  • 2 No. rows of new double glazed roof lights.
  • Fully air conditioned with new high efficiency VRF System.
  • Linea Shore LED Lighting.
  • Sound absorbing panels to underside of Mezzanine.
  • Ladies and gents toilet facilities on platform and Mezzanine Levels.
  • Shower facilities on platform and Mezzanine Level.

Station Building 2 is unrivalled in terms of accessibility. The Luas stop on Harcourt Street provides access from St. Stephen’s Green, southwards to Dundrum Town Centre, and onwards to Sandyford and Brides Glen and north through the City Centre. Numerous Dublin bus routes are accessible within the immediate vicinity of Station Building 2, serving all parts of the city. The DART at Pearse Street is a 15 minute stroll through Georgian Dublin.

The office is located within close proximity to Ireland’s premier retail destination- Grafton Street, where there are copious retail and dining outlets. A number of fine dining restaurants can be found nearby including Dax, Sophie’s, The Grayson, Shanahan’s on the Green and The Cliff Townhouse.  Within the immediate vicinity of Station Building Two, there is an abundance of café’s and dining options including Morton’s, Starbucks, The Odeon & The Art of Coffee.
