Property: A prime investment or redevelopment opportunity in the heart of Athlone
At the epicentre of one of Ireland’s most historic and rapidly evolving regional towns sits a landmark property of exceptional commercial and redevelopment potential.
Oates Auctioneers is pleased to present 7 Pearse Street; a former regional bank headquarters set on a substantial 0.37-acre freehold site in the vibrant heart of Athlone.
This detached property extends over three levels and currently offers 21 individual offices, presenting an enviable footprint of approx. 595 m² of commercial space.
With its versatile internal layout and generous proportions, the premises is well suited to continued office use or could be an exciting candidate for residential conversion (subject to planning permission).
Strategically located beside the scenic River Shannon, the development enjoys immediate proximity to key civic and business landmarks — including the local boat club, the Revenue offices and the newly refurbished Garda Station.
Linked by high-footfall streets to a generous mix of restaurants, cafés, bars and hotels, the site offers superb accessibility and exposure for a broad range of commercial ventures.
With ample car parking to the rear — a rare commodity in central Athlone — this property stands out not only as a functional office hub but also a compelling prospect for investors, owner-occupiers, or developers seeking a centrepiece in Ireland’s Midlands.
Athlone itself continues to increasingly draw interest from both the business community and residents alike.
Located where the River Shannon bisects the country, the town combines historical character with modern amenities and growth potential. Its transport connections and local facilities make it an attractive destination for commercial operations as well as residential repurposing schemes in the future.
Properties of this scale and calibre in such a prime town-centre location are seldom available on the open market. With its robust size, flexible layout and enviable setting, 7 Pearse Street represents a rare opportunity for those looking to make a lasting investment in Athlone’s dynamic property landscape.
