Capital Dock is a 22-storey mixed-use development at the junction of Sir John Rogerson's Quay and Britain Quay in the Dublin docklands.[2][4] Developed by Kennedy Wilson, the site was acquired in 2012 and construction finished in 2018. Upon completion, the 79-metre tower became the tallest storeyed building in the Republic of Ireland, and the third tallest on the island of Ireland.

History

[edit]

The building was developed in a joint venture with the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) on the site of the proposed U2 Tower.[5] Concrete foundations, as well as three floors below street level and one above level, had been completed on the original development before it was cancelled.[citation needed]

In 2012, Kennedy Wilson acquired the site and development started at the end of 2014. In May 2017, they sold the 130,000 ft2 (12,000 m2) 200 Capital Dock building to JPMorgan on a forward funding sale agreement. In December 2017, Kennedy Wilson signed a 20-year lease with Indeed, to fully occupy buildings 100 and 300 Capital Dock.[6]

Retail tenants include Fresh, BrewDog, Freshii and the Art of Coffee.[7]
