Hibernia REIT

The Windmill Quarter, located in SOBO, is designed for work and wellness, a historic riverside neighbourhood that encourages interaction and enables exchanges that spark ideas. It is a community of companies within a vibrant estate with 400,000 sq. ft. of offices and the focal point is the Townhall. Situated in 1WML, a LEED Gold building with WiredScore Platinum rating for connectivity, the Townhall celebrates the musical legacy of Windmill Lane and is used for business and social events (both formal and informal) by tenants in the Quarter. Along with cafés, retail and leisure facilities (including a 12,000 sq ft gym), the Townhall and the Grade A office space make the Windmill Quarter the workspace of the future.

The Godfather of Office Agency

Savills

Roland was appointed Chairman of Savills in October 2014. He joined the firm in 1981 and during this time he was primarily responsible for the Office Agency Department.

He has advised numerous high profile clients in their search for office property in Ireland, including State Street for their new Dublin HQ. This was the largest city centre office transaction since the Citi HQ deal in 1999 – a deal in which Roland was also involved. More recently he secured the letting of city centre HQ’s to Facebook and Yahoo! He is also a past President of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland.

Summary

1. As new office product comes into the market, how will older properties compete? Who is leasing? Where do you see most of the demand coming from? 2. Where will most of the offices needed to meet current demand be built in the future, in the city or in the suburbs? 3. What are the best strategies to manage the lack of development funding and the requirement for pre-lets that are slowing down the production of supply? 4. Are open office plans still in demand, or are they proven to foster a less productive working environment?  5. What will the office of the future be? What is the business case for focusing on holistic well-being, and how does it align with the working styles and patterns of the future?
