Editor’s letter
Look taking its biggest store worldwide, the Jervis Centre has staged two dramatic coups. And Republic’s decision to take stores in a number of Dublin malls is also a vote of confidence. Although the shopping centre
sector in the UK has had a lean time of it over the past 18 months, it is as nothing compared with the situation in the Republic of Ireland where entire newly- built malls stand unlet and shuttered. But now retailers seem to
perceive that there is value to be had in Ireland after a dramatic fall in rents. And with fewer shoppers crossing the border to the North
that will also give more tenants the confidence to take new stores. Of course the market remains
massively overbuilt, especially outside the major centres of Dublin and Cork, and it is going to take a genreration to rectify the problems of the past decade. But at least there are now
signs that the situation has stopped deteriorating, which has to be good news for Ireland’s beleaguered developers, agents and managers.
