The 3.7 acre Opera Site project will be a landmark commercial development in a regional and national context and one that will reflect Limerick’s status as a leading destination for inward investment.

The 1.62 hectare site will be developed at a total cost of circa €180 m and is fully funded, thanks in the main to €170 m funding from the European Investment Bank and the Council of Europe Development Bank loans. Project Managers have been appointed and the project is set to commence with enabling and demolition works later this autumn.

A transformational project for Limerick, the fully developed site will be capable of employing up to 3,000 people across a 450,000 sq ft campus accommodation. The project will be developed over a six-year period to LEED Gold  and nZEB standard. 

A day-time employment hub, it will transform into a bustling night-time destination complete with restaurants, bars and open entertainment spaces. The design will also be entirely complementary to and protect important Georgian architecture on the site.

The Opera Site will be a key driver for increased economic activity in the City Centre with potential to deliver significant employment opportunities and act as a catalyst for other major city centre investment.

Capacity: 550,000 sq. ft., 3,000 jobs
Stage: Project Managers appointed and the project is set to commence with enabling and demolition works later this autumn
