2,000 jobs on cards as retail project gets €100m revamp

A mothballed retail project on the outskirts of Limerick city, which was abandoned mid-build during the property crash, is set to undergo a €100m redevelopment, with the potential to create 2,000 jobs.

A planning application will be lodged with Limerick City and County Council today by Belfast-based developer Suneil Sharma, to complete the partially-built Parkway Shopping Centre on the main Dublin to Limerick road as Horizon Mall.

The application will seek approval to amend the existing planning permission for the site and to reduce the project’s scale, while retaining some of its core elements.
