The property consists of a three storey over basement period block. Retail and restaurant units occupy the ground and basement levels, whilst the upper floors are in residential use. Dublin City Council owns the long leasehold of the upper levels which is accessed separately from Asdills Row.

Tenants include Elephant & Castle, Gallagher’s Boxty House Ltd, Abrakebabra and Forbidden Planet.

According to the agents, The Crampton Buildings offers a rare prospect in acquiring twelve retail / restaurant units in a truly prime location within a minute’s walk of the main shopping thoroughfares of Grafton Street, Henry Street, O’Connell Street and the world renowned Trinity College.

The well located retail units are expected to appeal to a wide range of investors, both domestically and internationally.
