WORK AND MEETING SPACE provider Iconic Offices has announced that it will open a new co-working space near Dublin’s Grand Canal Dock.
As part of a five-year deal with property investment firm Hibernia REIT, the 21,000 sq ft Brickhouse workspace will open its doors at Block 1, Clanwilliam Court in April.
The Brickhouse promises to be a “creative and free-flowing think space” for freelancers, startups and multinationals.
Across three floors, the property will offer office space, event space and hot desking services – desks shared by workers on a rota basis – to individuals and small businesses.
A spokeswoman told Fora it will be able to accommodate up to 300 people.
Networking opportunities and other events will be hosted at the space as part of a project called Brickhouse Community.
Founded in 2013, Iconic Offices currently operates across 16 locations in the capital with spaces that range from one to 200 desks.
It was set up with the idea to offer “affordable workspace for SMEs”.
Iconic’s chief executive, Joe McGinley, said that he was “extremely confident that The Brickhouse will deliver the highest standard in visionary co-working space in Dublin”.
He claimed that the space has already attracted attention from Irish and international companies.
