Cogent is proud to have supported Google in one of the most significant deep retrofit and adaptive re-use redevelopment projects completed in Ireland in recent years – the transformation of The Treasury Building, now reimagined as The Bakery.
A landmark refurbishment on Lower Grand Canal Street that showcases the potential of deep retrofit at scale. This ambitious project combines the preservation of an historic building with a significant new-build expansion, delivering a transformative low-carbon workplace in the heart of Dublin’s Docklands. The development represents a substantial investment in sustainable construction, blending heritage, innovation and modern workplace design to create a future-ready environment for 1,900 Googlers. This project demonstrates the opportunities that lie in refurbishing and retrofitting existing building stock, particularly in the current market.
With fit-out works set to commence imminently, it’s exciting to see the next phase of this journey begin as the building continues its evolution.

Congratulations to Google, the project delivery team and to all who have contributed to the successful opening of Bolands Mills, Dublin.
The regeneration of Bolands Mills is the culmination of several years of hard work to create a truly innovative space, designed to meet the needs of Google and the local community. We are immensely proud of our Project and Cost management teams’ efforts to create this landmark facility for Google and Ireland.
We are delighted to promote the launch of www.bolandsmills.com on behalf of our client Google Ireland – an exciting new Placemaking concept which aims to bring together independent restaurants, café bars and leisure offerings, a new food marketplace, public realm and cultural spaces.
Cogent Associates are providing Project and Cost Management consultancy services that includes assisting in the development of the Landlord leasing strategy, to facilitate small and emerging traders to occupy the spaces. Congratulations to Cogent’s Cormac O’Neill, Johan Schnitter and David Lyons who have been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition.
The leasing process of the units is now open to applications and interested parties should contact CBRE Retail in Dublin.
Located on the waterfront within the Grand Canal Dock, the site has a rich history and industrial heritage and has been designed with community at its core, offering new public and cultural spaces, accessible during the daytime, evening and weekends. There is a ‘community heart’ throughout the development and in the centre of the space is a Building dedicated to community and cultural permitted use and is available to suitable operators as part of a Landlord Leasing Strategy.
A reimagined public realm, streets, playground and walkways have been designed using Universal Design standards. The various retail units come with cafe, retail, restaurant and leisure permitted uses in addition to a food marketplace use that will be home to multiple traders.
