Grafton Street in Dublin is the sixth most expensive street in the world to rent (about 2,500/sqm). Do you get what you pay for? Well, are you paying for an ‘investment’ , or perhaps a ’shelter’ or even a ‘public service’. Would you pay for a name? The people who just bought Body Shop thought it was worth it for £150million (this might include buildings as well).
