Deal closed for €17m Crown Square fit-out
Thu, Mar 05, 2026
Galway City Council has appointed Dublin-based Flynn Management and Contractors for a €17 million fit-out of its new headquarters at Crown Square.
The deal – which has come in at a price substantially lower than some observers predicted – will bring the interior of the shell building the council bought for €45m in 2022, up to spec for occupation by council staff early next year.
Galway City Council said it would not disclose the final deal value at this time, but that €15 million had been drawn down to pay for the fit-out, which excludes another €2 million in VAT. It is unclear how much contingency the local authority can access for construction cost inflation.
