Galway commercial property market 2016 review sees demand for new office campus in the city

Thu, Dec 22, 2016

The commercial property market in Galway remained robust throughout the year with the only obstacle to further growth being a lack of supply in key sectors, according to Cushman & Wakefield's 2016 review. The reemergence of the traditional pillar banks backing property, along with the continued presence of cash buyers in the market, has meant that competition for good quality assets has improved.

A strong year for the Galway office market was driven by the FDI sector, new entrants to Galway’s market included MetLife, Heat Software, IP Switch, The Mathworks, and Site Minder. With office rents on the rise due to strong demand and lack of supply Cushman & Wakefield Galway sees considerable potential for a large, modern, office campus for the city, with further potential for speculative building in the suburban areas. The office market in Galway continues to have the lowest vacancy rates of any area of the country with vacancy running at just seven per cent, and with no speculative offices currently under construction this situation is unlikely to change in the short term.
