Shannon Development lodges application for expansion

Shannon Development is lodging a planning application this week with Kerry County Council for a new 2,500 square metre office building at Kerry Technology Park (KTP), Tralee.

If successful this will be the third Shannon Development building at KTP and will comprise self-contained office suites ranging from 84-465 square metres.

"The building will provide expansion space for some of the rapidly growing companies moving to the park," said says Kerry Technology Park manager Marie Lynch.

"We have 17 companies currently employing 280 people at KTP and our aim is to continue to enhance Kerry Technology Park’s reputation as a premier business location. We will do this by continuing to create a superb working environment where businesses can grow and flourish."

KTP and ITT are working on developing the shared space belonging to both bodies into a central plaza which would be used as a recreational area for all companies who work at the location to enjoy.

In addition to these developments, a number of companies based at Kerry Technology Park have come together to construct their own purpose-built facility.

Construction of a new 2,790 square metre building is due to begin shortly. This building, combined with the proposed new Shannon Development building, will bring the total Enterprise space at Kerry Technology Park to almost 11,150 square metre.
