IPUT is proud to mark the official opening of 25 North Wall Quay with An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, and our long-standing partners, A&L Goodbody.
A&L Goodbody LLP (ALG), one of Ireland’s largest law firms, officially opened its newly redeveloped headquarters at 25 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1. The opening was attended by Taoiseach Micheál Martin who addressed nearly 600 from ALG’s Dublin office to celebrate the next chapter for the firm, in Dublin’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC).
Spanning 155,000 sq ft, the state-of-the-art building is a smart, technology-enabled building, developed using best-in-class building techniques, with an emphasis on renewable energy and low-carbon materials. This building sets the standard as it paves the way to net-zero carbon offices.
Taoiseach Michael Martin commented:
The opening of A&L Goodbody’s new office headquarters is a really exciting development – exciting for ALG, for Dublin’s business district and the wider Irish economy. As a leading Irish law firm, ALG has made a significant contribution to supporting growth in our economy and international investment. This landmark building provides a best-in-class sustainable HQ for a new era.
David Widger, Managing Partner at ALG explained that
This new headquarters reflects our confidence in, and ambition for, our business and for our clients. It is our building for the future; while staying rooted in the place we called home for over two decades. Since first moving to North Wall Quay in 1999, our firm has expanded significantly. The new building supports a state-of-the-art, modern working environment for those who work at ALG and the clients we support.
Working with IPUT, we’ve created a building that meets the highest standards and reflects the values of our clients and our business — forward-looking, responsible and globally connected.
The office redevelopment project which began in 2022 includes two additional floors, landscaped terraces, a new atrium, and a purpose-built client suite, designed to enhance the client experience and foster deeper collaboration.
Niall Gaffney, CEO, IPUT Real Estate, said
25 North Wall Quay is one of Ireland’s most sustainable buildings. We shared a vision with our long-term partner, A&L Goodbody: to create a net-zero carbon office building that would offer their team, clients, and wider stakeholders an unmatched workplace. We are truly proud of the outcome, which sets a new benchmark in the Irish market and sits alongside the best workplaces globally.
