The second property comprises Units 4 and 5 on Temple Bar Square in Dublin city centre. The fully fitted cafe unit is being offered subject to a sale-and-leaseback to Cool Hand Coffee Roasters on a new 15-year lease, with a break option in year 10, at an annual rent of €65,000. The guide price is €850,000, which reflects a net initial yield of 7 per cent.

The third investment comprises a retail/supermarket unit at Old Bawn Shopping Centre in Tallaght, Dublin 24.

This ground-floor convenience store unit has been trading since 1990 and extends to 291sq m (3,138sq ft). The property is guiding at a price of €950,000, which equates to a net initial yield of 7.5 per cent.

Cathal Kelly of BDM Property says: “These three assets offer investors a strong combination of long leases, secure tenants and prime Dublin locations. With lot sizes ranging from under €1 million up to €2.6 million, they are likely to be of interest to a broad range of private investors.”
