KENNEDY WILSON SIGNS NEW LEASE WITH WELLS FARGO AT COOPERS CROS
Dublin, Ireland. (5th Jan) – Following the recent completion, Coopers Cross has signed a new long-term lease with Wells Fargo. The global financial services company will occupy 26,000 square feet in Building One within the office campus at Coopers Cross.
Equipped with the latest intelligent building systems and designed for maximum efficiency, the Coopers Cross office campus was developed with employee wellness, convenience, and collaboration in mind, and uses the latest innovative workplace technology. The buildings offer bright, flexible floor plates, a wraparound penthouse terrace overlooking Dublin city, bicycle spaces, parking, and changing facilities. Employees also have access to a 20,000 square foot town hall and other tenant amenity space, including a business lounge. These state-of-the-art facilities create a dynamic office environment and an exceptional workspace experience for employees.
Encompassing nearly an entire city block in Dublin’s North Docks, the six-acre Coopers Cross mixed-use development is revitalizing one of the largest undeveloped sites in Dublin’s Docklands, forming part of the Strategic Development Zone designed to facilitate the regeneration of the area. The development includes 471 apartments that are nearing complete occupancy, resident amenities, and retail space, anchored by a new public park in the North Docks. Two new office buildings have been delivered to the highest sustainability standards, including LEED and WELL Platinum, and BREEAM Outstanding. Coopers Cross was also the first commercial development in Ireland to achieve a Platinum SmartScore certification, awarded to projects demonstrating exceptional intelligent building credentials.
Stefan Foster, Head of Acquisitions & Commercial, Ireland for Kennedy Wilson, said: “Building on our long-standing relationship, we are delighted that Wells Fargo has chosen Coopers Cross as their new Dublin offices. Focused on sustainability, wellness, and operational efficiency, our ambition for Coopers Cross was to deliver a landmark office campus that provides occupiers with a modern, best-in-class, working environment, surrounded by amenities and green spaces. Attracting a leading global company of Wells Fargo’s calibre is testament to that ambition and we are proud to have delivered a sustainable and engaging space for their people.”
Fiona Gallagher, CEO, WFBI and International Head of Commercial Banking Wells Fargo, said: “We are delighted to announce the relocation of WFBI, Wells Fargo’s EU bank, to Coopers Cross. This new state of the art facility not only reflects Wells Fargo’s continued commitment to the EU and Ireland, it also embodies our dedication to both innovation and sustainability. Selecting a building that has achieved Platinum SmartScore certification is testament to our pledge to operate responsibly and contribute to a sustainable future. This move represents a significant milestone for Wells Fargo in Ireland, as we embrace a workspace designed to foster collaboration and enhance employee well-being.
