A closer look at Dublin
These are the most popular areas in which to rent office space:
Dublin Docklands
The Dublin Docklands has been restored to act as an extension of the modern business hub of Dublin's International Financial Services Centre. Over the years, the area has attracted hundreds of enterprises and companies.
Continuing developments in the area have transformed Docklands into a uniquely modern district which is attracting a number of organisations in the finance, legal and digital sectors. The presence of influential national and international corporations has helped Docklands become a thriving district — so much so that it has commissioned its own business association to represent the voice of companies in the area and help them network with each other.
Dublin Central
Dublin Central is known as one of the city’s most diverse areas. It contains the main financial and shopping districts and is a popular choice for companies in both industries. The community consists of mostly working-class areas with the more suburban middle class areas on the northern fringes of the district. Dublin 2 and 4 are leading office districts for anyone looking for a Central Dublin address.
West Dublin
West Dublin encompasses the areas of Mulhuddart, Corduff, Blanchardstown, Castleknock, Carpenterstown, Barberstown, Clonsilla, and Ongar. This area is a popular choice for companies who have offices based in other cities such as Galway, Limerick and Cork. It is an easier commute as they don’t have to travel to central Dublin. Dublin 18, 22 and 24 are the most popular postal districts in the area for office space.

North Dublin is ideal for companies who want to be close to the airport as it has excellent links. Dublin 9 is one of the most popular districts in the area for workspace.
