Cherrywood Shopping Centre

Cristianc

Any idea what is happening with the Cherrywood Shopping Centre?

I haven't seen any activity on social media since 2020. Are they still contructing? I saw the residential units have now been completed but what about the stores?

The developer's (Hines) latest YouTube video dated 3 months ago doesn't even mention the shops.

Maybe ask in the comments section on YouTube and see what they say....

No sign of any work on this site and no word about a timescale for its development.

There was an announcement yesterday about a new commercial lease on the other side of Cherrywood

APC and VLE Therapeutics, two Irish-owned drug-development companies, have signed a long-term lease with DLR Properties, a company wholly owned by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Co Council, for a new 60,000sq ft building to facilitate the delivery of their planned 130,000sq ft Medicine Accelerator campus.

Good news for the bio-med side of Cherrywood but the final paragraph of the report gives no grounds for hope in regard to the promised Town Centre.

DLR Properties currently owns and manages 180,000sq ft of buildings and a prime town-centre development site of 13 acres in Cherrywood. This site is set to be developed to provide a mix of residential, commercial and community uses

Don't hold your breath

Think it's fairly normal to wait for the houses to be built before any shopping centre. No point in having a load of shops with no customers. Also retail is dying on its arse and Carrickmines/Dundrum are easily not far away. Just look at the writedown the Square Tallaght has had. Doubt they'll be in any rush.

still lots of residential units to build

The square is home into receivership, retail isn’t to hot at the moment

Most of the houses and apartments are built and are rapidly filling up. I would guess Charrywood’s residential areas will be complete within a year and nothing has been done for the town centre. If they never build the town centre, then the vast SDZ planning exercise - one of the most ambitious in the history of the State - was a waste of time.

Cherrywood would be just another very large residential zone with some basic amenities- a few parks and a primary school - built around the existing transport infrastructure. The same result could have been achieved by the private developers with far less intervention by the Council.

Did they not ask for revised planning permission last year where they are no longer going to build the "big" shopping centre but more apartments?

There have been many amendments over the years but I think the plan is still to build a big retail centre of 35-40,000 sq. m.

Not another Dundrum but not just a local centre. Except so far no sod has been turned.
