The Observatory is located on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, in the South Docks, Dublin’s principal office quarter and the base for much of the city’s global tech, finance and professional services activity.
The building forms part of the Windmill Quarter, alongside 1 and 2 Windmill Lane, 1 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay and 50 City Quay. Five buildings under single ownership, sharing amenity space and an events programme.
Amenity is on the doorstep: Perpetua Fitness, Tang, the Marker Hotel, the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, the CHQ Building and the Convention Centre Dublin, with the Liffey boardwalk running east towards Ringsend and west into the city.
Transport connections are excellent. Pearse Station, providing both national rail and DART services, is just a 4 minute walk away, while the LUAS is approximately 10 minutes on foot and Connolly Station is a short walk to the north. Dublin Bus routes and dublinbikes stations serve the quarter, while the Samuel Beckett Bridge provides direct access to the north quays and onward road connections to the Port Tunnel and Dublin Airport.
