Why Get Serviced Office Spaces in Blackrock

Comfort

It is a huge comfort knowing that everything is taken care of in your building. Making sure there is coffee in the press or that the milk is fresh is not your responsibility. Everything is taken care of for you. When you rent an office building, you would normally sign a lease for a long period of time. During this time you must pay a large rent, electricity, heating and any other bills that are not being paid by the landlord. These costs add up when you have an office with employees using these amenities too. In The Glasshouses, you do not need to think about any of that. It is taken care of by the building for your comfort and ease.

Clear Your Head

Sea air clears your head so you can think clearly. When you return to your serviced office space this will help you. Having a clear head will help you to work harder and be more productive.

Exercise on Blackrock Beach

Fancy a morning run? A morning swim? Or maybe just a morning walk? Well, get to work a bit early and head for the beach. We have shower and changing facilities in our serviced office spaces. 

No Long-Term Commitment in our Serviced Office Spaces

In The Glasshouses, we ask you to sign a license instead of a lease. This means we require only two months’ notice before you vacate your office. This leaves you with a lot of room for change or adjustment. If renting an office space does not suit you anymore, you can move on quickly without any fuss.

What Other Locations Do The Glasshouses Have?

The Glasshouse have a location in Blackrock, a location in Sandyford and two locations in Dun Laoghaire called GH1 and GH2.  Originally, the vision of The Glasshouses was to create space outside of the city centre where people can come to work, network and grow their business.

GH1 is the first-ever Glasshouse. It is located in Harbour Court, George’s Place. GH2 is located on Georges Street, right in the heart of Dun Laoghaire. The town has many coffee shops and restaurants, and it is only a five-minute walk from the DART. There are a number of bus routes that pass through the town which makes it easily accessible by public transport. Dun Laoghaire has also seen a number of upgrades recently. Changes made to the road network make it safe for cyclists to come and go, and The Glasshouses Dun Laoghaire has bike racks providing a safe place for you to lock your bicycle after your cycle to work – one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel. 

The Glasshouses Sandyford is situated in the Beacon South Quarter, and is only a 7-minute walk from the Luas or a couple of minutes from the bus routes that pass through. This makes it easily accessible by public transport. Sandyford also has superb bicycle lanes installed in its streets, making it safe and convenient to cycle to work and park your bike in our bike racks. The Beacon South Quarter alone is filled with amazing coffee, great food and plenty of shops. 

Both of these locations have affordable parking nearby and because they are not located in the city centre, you have a better chance of missing the traffic.
