Jehovah's Witnesses HQ goes on market
THE WICKLOW-BASED headquarters of the Jehovah's Witnesses has been put on the market with a guide price of €4.5 million.
Watch Tower House at Newcastle is situated on an eight acre site and consists of three interlinking blocks which date back to 1996.
The decision to sell the headquarters at Newcastle has been prompted by a worldwide restricting of the congregation and the administrative functions will be taken over by the British branch. Meanwhile the congregation's needs will be catered for in the 115 separate units already in existence across the country.
Lucy Connolly of commercial property agents Mason Owens Lyons said the building was built to a particularly high standard while the grounds have been generously landscaped.
Mason Owen & Lyons has suggested that Watch Tower House would be suitable for a number of uses including corporate headquarters, a nursing home, retreat centre, conference facility, hospital, children's home, medical centre, hotel, hostel, business training facility or cookery school.
