Why is Dublin’s ‘Silicon Docks’ a desirable investment district for overseas property investors?
The nickname of the “Silicon Docks” in Dublin has been officially recognised to describe the area where the world’s biggest technology companies have chosen as their European HQ. Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Airbnb, Amazon, Indeed, TripAdvisor, Accenture, Twitter, Stripe are just some of the growing list of companies that have set up in Dublin, primarily in the Silicon Docks area.
With an area workforce expanding day-by-day, global and local workers have been attracted to this area to fill these highly paid roles, with stories of some of them staying temporarily in hotels during the week, such is the shortage of rental accommodation in this area.
Many of the workers want to live in the area, not just because it is close to their work but it is also a very desirable place to live with may top end restaurants, bars and cultural events that are staged in the Bord Gais Energy Theatre.
