Kennedy Wilson embarked on the redevelopment of 20 Kildare Street in 2017 after assembling a portfolio of existing properties, including four Georgian buildings on Kildare Street, that date back to the 1750’s. Kennedy Wilson secured new entitlements for the project, which included restoring the historic facades of the Georgian buildings and constructing a new triple-height glazed atrium to seamlessly connect the street side buildings and ground floor reception with external landscaped courtyards and seven stories of Grade A office space tucked behind. A new terrace on the sixth floor provides unrivaled views of St. Stephen’s Green, the Shelbourne Hotel, and the National Museum.
Sustainability, smart building technology, tenant well-being, and quality finishes are at the forefront of this 65,000 squarefoot
development. The Kennedy Wilson team secured leading sustainability credentials LEED Gold, WiredScore Platinum, and WELL Gold certification at 20 Kildare Street.
20 Kildare Street was recognized with the Build Heritage & Conservation Award at the KPMG Irish Independent Property Industry Excellence Awards, which serve as a beacon of excellence within the Irish property industry, championing innovation, sustainability, and exceptional performance. Kennedy Wilson’s efforts were noted as a stellar example of how to preserve Georgian heritage while creating an appealing modern office environment.
