The Sharp Building was developed by McGarrell Reilly on the site of their previous Hogan Place development and occupies a high-profile corner location at the junction of Hogan Place and Harmony Row. The building designed by Gary O’Hare of KMD Architects has transformed the streetscape and features a striking contemporary glazed facade incorporating limestone and brick, a generous feature entrance reception together with impressive views from the fourth and fifth floor terraces. The building also secured top sustainability and connectivity credentials including LEED Platinum, BER A3 and WiredScore Platinum certification.
