42-43 HENRY STREET
Location
42-43 Henry Street is situated on the north eastern side of the street on the prime retail stretch between the Ilac Centre and O’Connell Street.
Henry Street is the primary retail thoroughfare on the north side of Dublin City Centre. It is one of the two main pedestrianised high street retail locations in Dublin, the other being Grafton Street on the south side of the city.
The significant Ilac and Jervis Shopping Centres are located on Henry Street which is home to numerous national and internationally recognised brands such as Zara, H&M, River Island and Boots, together with department stores including Arnotts, Debenhams, Dunnes and Marks & Spencer. Neighbouring occupiers include Carrolls, Mango, Clarks, Pull & Bear, Vision Express, JD Sports and Holland & Barrett.
The creation of the proposed 40,000 sq ft unit fronting onto Henry Street from the Arnotts premises, coupled with the planned addition of the Topshop flagship store in the Jervis Centre will further enhance footfall levels on the street. In addition, the owners of the Ilac Centre have commenced their refurbishment plans which will be completed by summer 2017 which are also seen as a very positive development for the area.
Weekly footfall figures on the street for 2016 averaged almost 335,000, resulting in total footfall for the year of over 17.4 million. This was an increase compared to 17.3 million recorded in 2015. As well as a retail attraction, Henry Street and the immediate area is a significant tourist destination. Footfall is boosted by excellent transport links including the LUAS Red Line stops on the nearby Abbey Street and Jervis Street. The new LUAS Cross City Line is due for completion by year end and will have a station on O’Connell Street. There are multiple Dublin Bus stops on O’Connell Street while the immediate area is also well served by taxi ranks and Dublinbikes with stations at Princes Street and Cathal Brugha Street. Multi-storey car parks are located in nearby shopping centres at the Jervis Centre, Ilac Centre and Parnell Centre.

Asset Management
The current lease is due to expire in October 2020 presenting an investor with a number of exciting short term asset management opportunities to include the following:
• The current unexpired lease term of approximately 3.6 years enables a timeline for an investor to capitalise on the continued improvement and growth in the retail sector and pent-up demand for prime High Street pitches coinciding with the lease expiry in October 2020.
• Potential to restructure the current lease with Arcadia Group (trading as Evans) to secure a longer lease term.
• If vacant possession is obtained, this property could be reconfigured / sub-divided and converted back to two separate buildings (i.e. No.42 and No.43). Although there is a notable shortage of large prime units on Henry Street, the creation of two reconfigured and refurbished units at this location could command premium rents.
Retail Market Outlook
Ireland’s economy continues to perform extremely well. Total employment is rising by 2.9% per annum and the number of people at work in Ireland has surpassed 2 million for the first time since 2008.
Average earnings have been rising for the last two years. Rising house prices and share values have increased households’ asset wealth and there has been a pronounced rebound in consumer credit. Taken together these continue to add to consumers’ spending power which remains particularly favourable for retail property.
With the consumer economy continuing to tell a positive story, retailers continue to expand, with new entrants such as & Other Stories and Victoria’s Secret further cementing Dublin’s status as a premier shopping location. On Henry Street, Topshop’s decision to consolidate its position as a key fashion driver from a reconfigured store of approximately 20,000 sq ft in the Jervis Centre will further enhance the scheme and benefit local retail occupiers.
Additionally, Arnotts continues its resurgence with growing sales and profitability, aided by an ongoing refinement of its concession mix, with Nespresso the latest brand to locate within the store.
With the jobs market continuing to improve, retailer demand for occupational space is to remain strong. Given the fact that large scale retail development is still some way off, rents will continue to rise further.
Savills Director of Research, Dr. John McCartney, has developed a framework for forecasting retail rents in conjunction with economists at the ESRI. The forecasting model uses the Grafton Street sub-index as a representative of what is happening in the prime Dublin High-Street market, due to the high correlation between ERV growth on Grafton Street and on Henry Street.
The latest analysis indicates that a 1% increase in total employment growth is associated with a 1.09% increase in rental growth on prime Dublin High-Streets two years later. It is forecasted that prime Dublin High-Street ERVs should rise by approximately 11.3% over the 8 quarters between Q3 2016 and Q2 2018 inclusive.
