"Dundrum Town Centre" is a shopping centre located in Dundrum, Dublin, Ireland. It is Ireland's largest shopping centre with over 169 tenants, almost 140,000 square metres of floor space, and over 3,400 car parking spaces. It is located just south of the town centre of Dundrum.
Dundrum Town Centre was built on the site of the former Pye television factory, later the site of an entertainment and bowling centre called Dundrum Bowl. In 1993, the Dundrum Bowl was closed in due to flooding.
Dundrum Town Centre was opened on 3 March 2005. Over 5,000 people queued in the main square. Within 3 years, over 70 million people visited Dundrum Town Centre.
The centre has grown in phases and is divided into various districts. The "Gallery" district is located in the main building, the "Pembroke" district is locating around the Mill Pond, and the "Dundrum South" district is located outside the main Tesco overground car park.
In July 2016, the UK commercial property firm, Hammerson, bought control of Dundrum from Allianz for a reported £1.01 billion, and will own it jointly with Germany's Allianz Real Estate.
"Dundrum Town Centre" was originally a local government term, defined by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, before the shopping centre was built. It was described as "the area between the Luas line, the Dundrum Relief Road, the Taney Rd./Upper Churchtown Rd. junction and the Wyckham By-Pass Route. It is mainly zoned for Town Centre uses, but with some parts zoned residential." The shopping centre was built under the provisions of the Urban Structure Plan for Dundrum Town Centre.
Also the name Dundrum Shopping Centre refers to an older smaller shopping centre off Main Street in Dundrum, which is still open and home to Lidl, Dealz, Mulveys of Dundrum. In recent years following many years of decay due to the opening of the Town Centre, efforts have been made to revamp this centre and it is now known as Dundrum Village Centre.
Dundrum Town Centre contains a range of retail, restaurant and entertainment tenants. Retail stores include Tesco Ireland, Marks and Spencer, House of Fraser, H&M, Next, Harvey Nichols, Gap, Hollister Co., Penney's, Hamleys and Zara. Restaurants include Eddie Rocket’s, FIVE GUYS, Milano's, Nando's and TGI Fridays. Entertainment includes a Movies@ cinema and Mill Theatre Dundrum. A temporary ice-skating rink is operational in December.
