Sligo is a town in the Northern part of the Republic of Ireland that dates back to the early 13th century. It is a popular tourist attraction and although its population is just under 20,000 people, it is purported to have the top retail spend in North West Ireland which is supported by two peak selling seasons; Christmas and Summer.
Sligo Town Centre, is a $110 million project at the heart of Sligo, with the intent of redeveloping the Sligo city centre. The development, originally proposed in 1999 will finally move forward with the signing of Debenhams department store who will join Penney’s (Primark, not JC), Dunnes Stores and Tesco as the anchors for the project. An additional 26 retailers will also be part of the project as well as prime office space, 20+ apartments, and a parking garage that can accommodate 900+ cars. The nearly 400,000 sf mixed-use project will dedicate 260,000 to retail. Construction is expected to start late this year and be completed by 2013.
