Swords application goes in
Published: 30 September, 2008
Joe O'Reilly's Chartered Land has lodged a planning application with Fingal County Council to expand its Swords Pavilions shopping centre. The E1bn investment will add over 100 small and large retail units, two flagship department stores for Marks & Spencer and House of Fraser, almost 200 residential units and four blocks of office space with associated car parking to the existing centre.
Chartered Land's plans have been drawn up to reflect the council's masterplan for Swords which aims to create a sustainable new city of over 100,000 people, with improved shopping facilities and strong commercial, cultural and social amenities.
The expansion will incorporate a number of new naturally-ventilated public streets covered by a high-level lightweight glass roof structure.
Chartered Land chief executive Dominic Deeny said: "The expansion plans build on the strong commercial success Swords Pavilions has seen to date and will greatly expand the present retail offer."
