Omni Park is a large shopping centre and retail park in the Republic of Ireland. Located in Santry, in the north of Dublin close to the M50 motorway. It comprises over 28,600 square metres (308,000 sq ft) of retail space in 86 retail units[1] over 2 floors of an indoor shopping mall and also several outlets externally. Units range from 49 square metres (530 sq ft) to 3,213 square metres (34,580 sq ft). Omni Park also features a selection of eateries, an Oratory and an 11 screen cinema called IMC (formerly called Omniplex) and a communal fountain area located in the Central Mall. The centre has surface and multi-storey car parking.
In 2005, significant development was undertaken with the development of a multi-storey car park and a new mall with an office suite on the third floor. Occupiers include Jack & Jones, Vero Moda, H&M, New Look, Elvery's, Lifestyle Sports, Name It and Easons all occupying space in the new mall. Due to the abundance of free surface and multi-storey car parking, many nearby residents have a bias for the Omni over other suburban shopping centres where the same occupiers are in occupation, but high car parking costs are incurred.
Omni Park's three main anchors are Penneys, Tesco Ireland (formerly Crazy Prices) and New Look. Other major retailers include Dealz, Argos Extra and Boots which both opened in 2009. Against the backdrop of a poorly performing economy, Omni has performed well and continued to succeed in attracting some notable occupiers with recent lettings to H&M in 2013, Nando's and Peacocks evidence of this.
Since 2012, Omni Park Shopping Centre is home to the Santry post office which relocated from nearby Santry Avenue.[2]
In 2014, Lidl completed the construction of their unit within the confines of Omni Park Shopping Centre following an agreement with the owners.[3] The construction of the Lidl store has provided an additional 150 car parking spaces. As part of the planning permission for the Lidl unit, three further retail units have received planning and are likely to be brought to the market / constructed imminently. These units provide for space ranging from 384 square metres (4,130 sq ft) to 600 square metres (6,500 sq ft).
2015 saw the arrival of Expert Hardware, Toymaster, The Works and Trespass
