Shannon Town Centre, Shannon, Co. Clare

Today, Shannon Free Zone is home to more than 100 international and Irish companies (including Jaguar, Zimmer Biomet, Atlantic Aviation Group, Aer Cap, DHL etc. ) employing over 8,000 highly skilled employees.

Shannon Town Centre is developed around an enclosed shopping mall known as Skycourt, which is anchored by Dunnes Stores, Lidl, Dealz's, Allied Irish Bank, Bank of Ireland and a number of other national concerns.

The site comprises an almost rectangular shaped leveled site, with extensive road frontage along its northern and southern boundaries, together with a return frontage to its west boundary.
The site extends to a total area of approximately 8.78 hectares (21.68 acres).

The relevant Development Plan for Shannon is Shannon Town & Environs Local Area Plan (2012-2018). Under this plan, the entire site is zoned 'Town Centre'.
In addition, the Shannon Town Centre Masterplan, which was published in January 2022 proposes the site as an Innovation Campus.

The current development encourages 'a major anchor facility/outlet or retail mall'. Further development of smaller scale retail with mixed use development of residential/hospitality/service related business would compliment the plans objectives.
POTENTIAL
Alternatively, the Innovation Campus idea could open the lands for educational and industry with small scale shopping, residential and potential for hotel.
A new development plan is to be drafted in the next year allowing any purchaser a significant input to the future zoning/land uses of this important site.
