€500m expansion plan for ‘recession-proof’ Liffey Valley

A €500 million expansion at Dublin’s Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is on the cards — and will be built once planning permission is granted, irrespective of the recession.

That’s according to developer Owen O’Callaghan of Barkhill, which he operates jointly with British property giant Grosvenor.

Barkhill Ltd this week is lodging a planning application for a further 700,000sq ft expansion (including its first foodstore/supermarket) of the Liffey Valley complex to bring it to full town centre status, with 1.2 million sq ft of development when delivered.
