M&G Real Estate and its development partner Marlet Property Group have agreed to let a 416,000-square-foot College Square office complex in Dublin to Workday, an AI-enabled platform for financial and human capital management headquartered in Pleasanton, California.

The new office will unify Workday’s Ireland-based workforce of over 2,000 employees from two current locations into one single hub. This investment reinforces Workday’s long- established presence in Dublin and allows for its continued growth alongside other global tech leaders in the city.

In the largest single European office letting since 2021, Workday will occupy the entirety of College Square’s office space, equivalent to five-and-a-half football pitches. The remaining space at the 22-storey building – the tallest and aspiring to be one of the most sustainable in Dublin – comprises 58 residential rental homes and ground-floor retail space.

Currently being developed by M&G Real Estate and Marlet Property Group, it is due for completion this June, with Workday due to start its fit-out soon after.

Overlooking Trinity College’s city centre campus, Grafton Street and the river Liffey, College Square is accessible to over 1.5 million people within a 30-minute commute and is well served with excellent transport links.

Dublin is known as a top location for leading global technology companies due to its talent-rich workforce, presence in the European market, and sustained economic growth. The city’s office market is thriving, with office space take-up for 2024 exceeding 2 million square feet.
