'Major Reconfiguration And Repositioning'
According to Hammerson the three new signings form part of a major reconfiguration and repositioning of Dundrum Town Centre, which has seen new and highly sought after contemporary brands replace legacy brands, whilst floor-plates were reimagined to create modern and attractive trading space for occupiers.
Commenting on the announcement, Connor Owens, managing director, Asset Management (Ireland & Scotland), said, “Our strategic focus to reposition and enliven Dundrum Town Centre with new brands, concepts and partnerships is evident as we continue to welcome new brands, concepts and market firsts, introduce new revenue streams and excite and engage our visitors.
"The repositioning of 200,000 sq ft of prime space has been integral to this strategy, so we are delighted to announce the signing of Dunnes Stores. This is testament to the quality and attraction of Dundrum as well as the hard work of our colleagues and brand partners.
"With Dunnes Stores, Brown Thomas, Penneys and Nike Live, we now have our dream occupier line up and are now in a stronger position than before the pandemic. There is more to come, and our customers can expect even more exceptional brands and experiences in the second half of the year.”
