DTZ Sherry FitzGerald sees demand for good quality office space in the city

Thu, May 12, 2016

Following strong performance over the course of 2015, which saw leasing activity in the Galway office market reach its highest level since 2007, the opening quarter of 2016 saw a more moderate level of activity according to DTZ Sherry FitzGerald. Take up in the three months to March totalled 2,600sq m, up 15 per cent on the previous quarter, however 28 per cent below the long-run quarterly average. The demand and supply imbalance that was evident in the Galway office market during 2015 persisted into the opening quarter of 2016. Availability remains at record low levels, with a corresponding low volume of overall take up.

The total volume of take up in quarter one comprised just three deals. The development of Block 4 at Parkmore, located in the suburbs, completed construction during the quarter; within this the multinational software company SAP took approximately 1,500sq m of space over two floors, while Fidelity Investments took the remaining 750sq m. Furthermore, 350sq m of space was occupied by SuperPixel Labs at Fairgreen House in the city centre. Such immediate take up levels reflect the demand for Grade A office space in the Galway market.
