Talbot Hotel eyes €10m Wexford tourism plan in purchase of Stonebridge

A Wexford mixed-use development, which has lain idle for eight years, is to become an ‘aparthotel’ in a tourism development by the Talbot Hotel Collection. Total investment there may be close to €10m.

The hotel group, which employs 600 in Cork, Carlow, Wexford and Dublin, has confirmed the purchase of the Stonebridge scheme, on Paul’s Quay, Wexford, just 100 metres from its existing Talbot Hotel.

Developed in 2008, Stonebridge has ground-floor retail units, including a TKMaxx, 314 parking spaces, 73 luxury apartments and duplexes overhead (never occupied), and a renovated, six-storey grain store, plus two other buildings, on two acres.
