Was out there myself on Friday night, and have to agree the heat was unbelievable.Especially in the main body of the centre, somehow a good few of the shops were a bit cooler-I would have thought it would be the other way around.It was late evening when I was there, and dark outside, and I thought that the main parts of the centre were very dull.I know it’s bright during the day due to the glass atria, but for some reason it seems very dull at night in the main passages of the centre. Maybe it was just my imagination……It also seems as though it was opened in a great rush, could they not have waited the month or 2 more, and opened the cinema and all the other shops aswell, all at once?Odd…
Hi All,
Suzy that’s absolutely right.
Almost the 30% of the stores did not open on the 3rd March.
We were able to open the day after but I know there were still loads to do.
So I do not understand the reason of this rush…..odd….
But I have to say REALLY NICE!
Take care
LyaHello,
yesterday I’ve been to Dublin to visit Dundrum Town Centre and to check if the store I worked for was ready to open tomorrow as planned.
I have to say that the structure is really impressive, massive, well studyied and good materials made.
I can understand who says that it seems a little bit out of the town context – despite I don’t see how we could expect anything different from it now…. – but the internal site is one of the best I have ever visited.
The only thing I am concerned about is that the works appear to be very far from being completed and I wonder how it will be able to open tomorrow morning at 10!!
I am glad this is not my case but I found that the fit out of the majority of the stores is very behind as well as the entire centre’s one (the front pavement was not finished even today)
Anyway I am sure that everything will be fine and people will enjoy it.
In end….I really enjoyed Dublin!
Ciao

Hi
I am not irish and I am not an architect .
I am italian and I am a lawyer.
But I moved to London 1 year ago and since that date I’ve been working as property administartor for a big worldwide retail company and I got interested in architect and interior retail design.
Our store in Dundrum Town Centre is due to open the next 3rd March together with all the other retailers.
It was a rush and I really hope it will be a success as I worked so hard to get everything ready by that date.
To be honest I think that Town entre will be a success; plans are great and the structure looks modern and funcional.
And if I am not wrong this will be something different from The Jervis Centre, Roches Stores and S. Stephen Green.
Our next oepening will be at Mahon Point, Cork, and I can’t wait to get on site in the next few days and suervey the site.
I’ll survey Dundrum site 2 days before it opens to check the works in our unit and make sure that everything is ok.
And it will be also my first time in Dublin…..very excited!!
Regards
Lya
