Dundrum Village Centre is a shopping centre in Dundrum, Dublin, Ireland. Opened in 1971, it is located in the original village of Dundrum, just north of the larger Dundrum Town Centre.
History
Downtown Dundrum opened in November 1971,[2] one of the first purpose-built shopping centres in Ireland, with an office block included.[2][3]
The shopping centre was renamed "Dundrum Village Centre" after a new large multi-building retail complex, known as Dundrum Town Centre, was opened nearby in 2005.[4][5] Controlled by the same parties as that centre, the redevelopment of Dundrum Village Centre was originally planned as "phase 2" of the overall Dundrum Town Centre development.[6]
Plans
In 2008, planning permission was granted by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for the Village Centre to be demolished[6] and replaced with 50,000 square metres of shopping, restaurants, a 96-room hotel, 40 residential units and a public library. The plans, which had not progressed, were put on hold in 2015, following consideration of the 2011 flooding of the Town Centre by the River Slang, and the flood risk which might arise with an expanded centre.[7]
In 2022, the co-owners of Dundrum Town Centre, Hammerson, put forward new plans to develop Dundrum Village Centre further, including a number of shops and restaurants, and more than 880 apartments, some in a high-rise units of up to 16 storeys.[8]
Public transport
The shopping centre is served by the Dundrum Stop of the Luas green line. It is also served by Dublin Bus routes 14, L25, 44, 44b, 44d and 74, and Go-Ahead Ireland route 161.[citation needed]
