Tech giant Google has cancelled plans to lease a massive new office space in the city centre.
The company was in talks to rent the huge 202,000 sq ft space at the Sorting Office near the south quays.
The seven-storey office would have accommodated around 2,000 staff members.
Google currently employs 8,000 people in Ireland, with most staff now working from home until June 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“After much deliberation, Google has decided not to proceed,” a Google spokeswoman told Bloomberg.
The online giant does still have plans to continue to invest in its Irish operation.
The former An Post site has been "transformed" into a modern commercial office space, according to property company Marlet, who sold the Sorting Office to Singaporean real-estate investment trust Mapletree Investments for €240m in June 2019.
