Law Firm Mason Hayes & Curran to move to Treasury Holdings office development

28 January 2004

Mason Hayes & Curran, solicitors, and Treasury Holdings Limited today announced a prelet of an office block to be built at Barrow Street, Dublin 4. This is the first pre letting agreement in the Barrow Street area. Developed by Treasury Holdings, the site will become the new headquarters for Mason Hayes & Curran and is due for completion in 2006.

The nine-storey building will have a net floor area of approximately 5,575 sq. metres with a distinctive glazed facade and an atrium through the centre. Architects Anthony Reddy Associates designed the building. Welcoming Mason Hayes & Curran to Barrow Street, Mr. John Bruder, Director - Property, Treasury Holdings commented, "We are naturally very pleased to have Mason Hayes & Curran as neighbours. We have always believed that top quality design and finish is the key to office development".

The immediate vicinity of the site has become a focus for development activity since the new Grand Canal Dock DART station opened a few years ago. Immediately adjoining the station is the existing Grand Canal Plaza scheme with three buildings currently occupied by Pfizer, BT Esat and Accenture. A new hotel on Shelbourne Road (formerly Kitty O'Shea's) is nearing completion. Mr. Peter Coyne, Chief Executive of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, said, "I am delighted that another firm of the calibre of Mason Hayes & Curran has chosen to move into the Docklands and I'm sure this move will be to their advantage".

Speaking at the announcement, Mr. Declan Moylan, Managing Partner, Mason Hayes & Curran said, "Barrow Street is the natural link between the established office areas at Baggot Street and Burlington Road and the new Docklands developments around Grand Canal Harbour south of the Liffey. In time, with the completion of the new Liffey Bridge, this will link up with the IFSC and Spencer Dock, north of the river".

"This is an important milestone in our firm's history and reflects the growth of our domestic and international business and our confidence in the future of the Barrow Street area," he added.
