New lettings at Mahon Point reflect positive Cork City retail outlook

AS agents Savills predict that 2015 will be the best year for retail in Cork since the downturn began in 2008, and witha number of tenant deals and relocations completed along Patrick’s Street (including SuperDry into the Moderne), a 75,000 sq ft site is now on the market for €6m at Grand Parade/Patrick Street: and retail deals are also flowing at suburban Mahon Point Shopping Centre for its owners, Deka.

Savills’ Leigh Hegarty has outlined a number of new lettings at Mahon Point and three more in legals (one is a shoe shop, another’s fashion), with Starbucks cafe (which is already in Mahon at City Gate) moving in upstairs in the centre close to Tesco and Next/Zara.

And, BBs, O’Brien’s and the 12-screen cinema are all refitting, and popular city chipper, Hillbillys, is due to arrive also at the food court.
