Galway going with the grain.
A new 45,000 square foot office development is set to open in summer 2018, creating “substantial” employment.
Fine Grain Property is the company behind the new development.
The modern building will be located at Block 5 of the Parkmore East Business Campus of the IDA Business Park.
Its aim is to help cater to the needs of the growing business community in Galway, both local and international.
Fine Grain Property’s new venture will add to the Campus’ international companies, including SAP and Oracle.
The new tenant, once confirmed, will have the option to expand the facility beyond its already impressive 45,000-square-foot space.
The launch of the project was attended by dignitaries and invited guests, including the Galway Chamber of Commerce, Galway County Council, the IDA, and a number of major investors.
