Looking for office space in Dublin 16?
Ping Offices will shortlist the best available options — across D16 and nearby Sandyford — tailored to your exact requirement.
Private offices in Dublin 16 by team size
If you are searching for a serviced office or a private room in Dublin 16, start with the number of people who will work there each day, then allow for calls, meetings and growth. Desk counts describe your requirement; they do not imply that a matching room is currently vacant. Ping Offices can check live options, costs and viewing dates against your brief.
2–4 person office
A 2–4 person private office can suit a small team or a satellite base. Compare the room layout, desk size, meeting-room access, internet and total monthly payment.
4–6 person office
For 4–6 desks, check whether staff can work comfortably and whether there is space for visitors or another desk as the team grows. Ask which facilities are included in the quote.
6–8 and 8–10 person offices
Teams of this size may need more call space, storage and a separate meeting room. Compare one larger suite with adjoining rooms or a managed office, depending on the building.
10–12 person office
A 10–12 desk requirement should be assessed for usable workstation capacity, circulation, privacy and meeting space. Confirm the total occupancy cost and agreement terms.
12–20, 20–50 and 50–100 desks
Larger teams may need a self-contained floor, multiple rooms or a fitted managed suite. If the exact location does not offer the right floorplate at the right time, we can compare other relevant Dublin areas.
Serviced, managed and leased space in Dublin 16
Serviced offices may offer a furnished private room with services bundled into a licence. Managed offices can offer more control over fit-out and branding. Traditional leases may suit longer-term occupiers seeking greater control. In every case, compare the actual building, inclusions, deposit, service charges, VAT where applicable, notice period and expansion options.
Location, commute and nearby alternatives

Confirm the exact address, access route, accessibility, parking and public-transport connection before booking a viewing.

These are separate places, so include them only if they suit your team’s journey and budget.
