Service Type: LSI Spaces
Castle LSI Spaces - Racecourse Business Park, Galway

The client is a US-headquartered medical device manufacturer specialising in delivery systems, expanding its European operations to support EU market entry and CE-marked product manufacturing. Castle LSI Spaces was introduced to the company as it began evaluating premises in the Galway area capable of supporting office, warehouse and regulated manufacturing functions under one roof.

The Challenge

Standard commercial space was not sufficient for the company's requirements. Its EU expansion needed a facility that could support day-to-day administrative operations, warehousing and logistics, and a controlled-environment manufacturing area built to medical device regulatory standards, including cleanroom conditions and laboratory-grade fit-out for both wet and dry lab activity. The property also needed to be ready within a timeframe tied to the company's own regulatory and commercial milestones.

The Approach

Castle LSI Spaces sourced a suitable unit in Galway, an established location for medical device and life sciences companies in the region. Rather than offering an off-the-shelf unit, Castle worked from the company's own specification for layout, finishes and controlled-environment requirements before design and fit-out began.

The Delivery

The building was designed and delivered as a single turnkey package, incorporating:

• A cleanroom-specification manufacturing area, built out to the company's own process requirements
• A dedicated laboratory fit-out to support development and quality functions
• Warehouse and logistics space configured for goods-in/goods-out and storage
• Office and administrative space tailored to the size and structure of the on-site team

The property was handed over ready for occupation withing 16 weeks, without the company needing to run a separate fit-out or construction process once the lease was in place.

The Outcome

The company moved from initial introduction to occupying a fully compliant, operational facility in a short timeframe relative to a typical ground-up fit-out project. Since occupying the building, the company has achieved a relevant compliance certification for the facility, expanded its footprint within Castle's portfolio, and remained a long-term tenant, renewing its lease beyond the initial term.

Why It Matters

This engagement reflects the underlying model behind Castle LSI Spaces: identifying suitable property, aligning design and build to a tenant's specific regulatory and operational requirements, and delivering a single, ready-to-occupy facility rather than a shell that still requires significant further work.
