The newest IDA development is located in the southeast region of the country on the Dublin Road, Rathnapish, Co. Carlow. It is one of nineteen buildings being set up across the country with the aim of attracting Foreign Direct Investment.
IDA Ireland’s Regional Business Development Manager for the South-East and resident of Carlow town Brendan McDonald said:
“The south-east region – home to 74 multinational companies employing approximately 13,500 people – has a robust track record in terms of attracting and retaining Foreign Direct Investment. This new facility on the Dublin Road, Rathnapish demonstrates IDA Ireland’s continued commitment to attracting and retaining FDI in regional locations and is one of several IDA Ireland property solutions that have supported the growth of employment and investment to Carlow and the South-East Region.
Kilcawley Construction delivered this 2,930 m² (31,500 sq ft) project to IDA inclusive of 1,537m2 of production space, and 1,157m² of office space, arranged over two floors.
The design is very similar to the LEED-certified premises in Galway and the ongoing development in Dundalk. The stand out feature on these buildings is the double-height, fully glazed entrance area, creating a bright welcoming reception.
