As the sell-off of a portfolio of three Irish shopping centres in Cork, Clonmel and Balbriggan moves to a second round, with three bidders reportedly all over €135 million, a second very sizeable portfolio of Dublin shops and offices comes for sale this week, guiding €123m.

CORK’S Blackpool Shopping Centre has a €75m valuation, as part of a €130m Nama first ‘Acorn Portfolio’ sale of Irish shopping centres, with 120 tenants.

Danish retail group Bestseller is to create up to 50 new jobs by expanding its operations in Millfield Shopping Centre, Balbriggan.
