- Centra signs lease for 3,200 sq ft unit on Station Road
- Retail Centre currently under construction and set to open in Q3 2022
- 133 new homes to be completed in early 2022
Quintain has announced that leading Irish retailer Centra has agreed to become the anchor tenant for the Retail Centre in St. Marnock’s Bay in Portmarnock. St. Marnock’s Bay will eventually contain 1,200 homes and a new public park.
The addition of Centra, in a 3,200 sq ft unit fronting onto Station Road, will add a high profile retail amenity to St. Marnock’s Bay and its surrounds. The store will offer much loved favourites from the deli, a full off licence, exclusive brands like Frank & Honest Coffee and much more.
There are plans for other retail amenities to join Centra, with two other units available to let in the retail centre which adjoins the Portmarnock DART station and commuter Park & Ride. The units, 985 sq ft and 1,677 sq ft in size, are ideally positioned to be occupied as a pharmacy or medical centre and a café or restaurant.
Quintain plans to deliver approximately 1,200 residential units on their 98 acres of land in Portmarnock, located close to Portmarnock Village, and Portmarnock Strand. To date, over 270 homes have been completed with an additional 133 homes to be completed in early 2022. Planning has been lodged for the next phase of 172 homes, together with a new public park.
The Retail Centre is due for completion in late July with a target opening date in Q3 2022. Savills is the letting agent for the Centre.
“We are delighted to welcome Centra to this new retail centre, which will provide much needed facilities for the existing and planned residential communities in the area. The development of the Portmarnock landbank is progressing at pace and providing an excellent mix of traditional style 2,3-, and 4-bedroom houses in a prime location in Portmarnock, adjoining the DART Station. The sales launch of a further phase of the development will commence in Q2 2022.”
Michael Hynes, Joint Managing Director, Quintain Ireland
