THIS WEEK THERE was a lot of news about fresh developments in Dublin.

The capital could be set to get its tallest office building with plans announced for a 73 metre structure in the docklands area.

It was also announced that Baggot Street Hospital on Dublin’s southside is set to go to auction.

Here is all the week’s property news.

The Big Movers

Expensive property 

New figures looking at house prices internationally found that the cost of buying a home in Ireland is second only to Hong Kong.

These numbers were collated by Global Property Guide and looked at the past 12 months, during which time house prices in Ireland went up by 10.7%.

Although the latest figures from the CSO have shown an increase in prices outside of Dublin, it has been an under-supply of homes in high-demand areas that has seen costs driven up over the last year.

Baggot Street Hospital 

One of the country’s most recognisable buildings has come onto the market in the centre of Dublin.

The HSE has commissioned estate agents Savills to bring Baggot Street Hospital to the market.

The deal is somewhat unusual as the HSE has asked for the provision of a 3,300 square metre primary care centre either on the existing site or somewhere else in the city.
