€250m complex to transform city centre

A VAST new shopping complex will draw an additional 100,000 people into Limerick city each week, members of Limerick City Council have been told by the developers.

The €250 million Opera Centre complex will cover more than 300,000 sq ft and employ about 1,000 when it opens in three years.

It will cover a vast area along Rutland Street, Ellen Street, and Michael Street where options have been taken on existing properties.
