As first reported by The Irish Times, 27 The Nicholson—the second-last penthouse at Lansdowne Place—Dublin 4 penthouse sold for a record-breaking €7.2 million in August 2025. The sale sets a new benchmark for Ireland’s apartment market and reflects Castlethorn’s long-standing expertise in delivering high-end residential developments that define quality and design excellence.
A New Benchmark for Dublin 4
Located on the eighth floor of Lansdowne Place in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, the 353 sq m (3,800 sq ft) penthouse features four bedrooms—each with an en suite and walk-in wardrobe—along with a study, utility room, and expansive open-plan kitchen and living areas offering city views. Two roof terraces on either side of the property add another 345 sq m (3,815 sq ft), further distinguishing the home for its scale and light.
According to The Irish Times, the sale price comprises €6,343,612 recorded on the Property Price Register plus 13.5 percent VAT, bringing the total to just under €7.2 million. The result equates to €1,895 per sq ft of interior space—placing the penthouse among the highest-value residential transactions ever completed in Ireland.
This transaction follows the 2023 sale of another Lansdowne Place penthouse, 24 The Burbidge, for €7 million—further cementing the scheme’s position at the pinnacle of Dublin’s luxury property market.
