I know Dealz were trying to secure that unit to expand, but I'm not sure if they succeeded or not.

Yes apparently they are. Rumour has it they are going in to Pamela scott unit also...

Cash for gold or discount type shop would be my guess.

Pandora and Permanent TSB have opened on O'Connell Street, and Enterprise rent-a-car are open on Upper William Street.

From what I have heard from staff in super value, hook and ladder are doing very well and have given the place a real boost
The chemist, post office, health shop, hairdressers are all doing good business so there is plenty of potential there.

Its not too bad compared to the Jetland. It's the tomb of the Celtic tiger.

Not sure if it's the Celtic tigers fault, dunnes own the whole building and don't seem too bothered, and probably only want shops they don't compete with.

Their old sarsfield street premises is for rent too, again I doubt aldi or like would be allowed in.

For Celtic tiger tomb see coonagh cross shopping centre.

I always thought that could be made into a Celtic Tiger amusement park. Leave everything as it is, put in non-functioning rides, closed shops and cafes and charge €50 entrance fee. Right in the center put a monument to the Celtic Tiger: a single breeze block mounted on a plinth.

I wonder if that is because the Vacant Sites Levy is coming in? That's going to nail any property owners who are sitting on property and doing anything with it.

Wise Old Elf

The garage at greenpark/ballinacurra opened today. Very quick fit out in the end, the shop was pretty much an empty shell last week.

Ya they said it should be finished by the end of next year or something like that. I assume work will be starting again soon if they want to stick to that deadline.

The Galway Brewing Company said on twitter this evening that they're looking for a premises in Limerick. They run a few successful craft beer places up there. They were interested in Bourkes going by the conversation that I saw.

I'm usually only there after the matches (when it's packed), but I was there at the weekend, and there was a decent crowd there - seemed to be a couple of xmas parties on and the usual 12 pubs crowd.

I thought the exact same yesterday evening- That PTSB was unoccupied for years, great to see life back there. They have the Starbucks signage on the building on the corner of Thomas St & Catherine street so it must be opening soon.

PTSB are also opening in Castletroy - where the old Spar used to be - the corner of Milford road and the Dublin road. Looks like they are nearly ready to open.

Hopefully an occupier can be found for the vacated PTSB premises on Sarsfield Street. It's a fine building and that street could do with some higher quality businesses.

I think the branch on Upper William Street has closed too now that the new flagship outlet on O'Connell Street is up and running.
