Frequently Asked Questions

National availability remains historically low, with Dublin experiencing slightly higher levels as new supply trickles in. This tight supply-demand balance continues to drive rental growth, with prime rents in the capital reaching notable new highs. We assist clients in navigating this constrained market by identifying emerging opportunities and alternative locations that meet their operational needs.

Industrial properties must adhere to stricter Building Energy Rating (BER) standards, which are becoming increasingly rigorous for new developments. Larger occupiers and investors must also comply with evolving EU sustainability directives, such as the CSRD. We guide clients through compliance strategies and identify opportunities for operational improvement and carbon reduction.

Local planning regulations differ depending on the county and development type. Important factors include Strategic Development Zones (SDZs), enterprise zones, and environmental impact assessments. Our planning expertise ensures smooth navigation of these processes, from initial site assessment through to final occupation in the Irish market.

Dublin remains the primary hub due to its proximity to major ports and population centres. Cork serves the southern region effectively, while Limerick-Shannon offers strategic access to the west and specialised aviation connections. We help clients assess location options based on their operational needs, workforce availability, and transport links.
