7.6.2 Extending Retail from the City Centre

The emerging regeneration areas to the east and west of the central core provide opportunities for new retail areas. For example, the strategic development zone (SDZ) for the North Lotts and Grand Canal Docks area will see office, residential and commercial development.

The Point Village is the designated district centre expected to service an eventual population catchment of 12,000 – 15,000 people. Towards the centre is the Grangegorman SDZ for the consolidation of the DIT campus and to the west is the Heuston South Quarter mixeduse development scheme.
