JPMorgan buying $137M Dublin office for 1,000 staff

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is buying an office building under construction in Dublin for $137 million, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

The bank’s Irish unit plans to house 1,000 workers at the building when it's completed in third-quarter 2018.
