Try Dealroom →, the listed Dublin property company. The deal, announced November 2, 2026, deepens an existing partnership between the two.
What's the endgame? The money will fund the redevelopment of 29 Earlsfort Terrace, the first phase of IPUT's €500 million plan to expand its Grade A+ office portfolio. IPUT is Ireland's biggest office landlord, with 30 prime assets totalling more than 2 million square feet in central Dublin.
Why now? IPUT frames the timing as a market opening. "We are at a compelling point in the current cycle," chief executive Niall Gaffney said, pointing to demand for top-tier Dublin workspace that "supply unable to keep pace."
