Gemma Harrington, Head of Sales & Marketing at Lansdowne Place commented: “Lansdowne Place is an ambitious project, set on historic grounds, that has become one of the country’s most recognisable addresses. The sheer level of quality of the homes combined with premium facilities and the prime location have attracted a mixture of purchasers to call the development home. Hugely popular with Irish buyers as a main residence or city pied-a-terre we have also seen a wave of interest from the USA.
“The growth of blue-chip American tech and finance businesses opening European headquarters in Dublin, as well as the relocation of the U.S. Embassy has played a major role in attracting those from across the pond to buy a home here. Coupled with emotional, family ties to Ireland we have also seen the ability to future proof their investment, with significant value uplifts between 15-20% at Lansdowne Place offer enticing returns.”
