Brand Central, the old Rathdowney Outlet Shopping Centre, has gone on the market with an asking price of €7.2 million.
The property on the Johnstown Road in Rathdowney is a retail unit of over 10,000 square-metres on a 13-acre site.
“We’re talking to a few parties on it, but nothing’s agreed yet,” said Clement Herron, whose Portlaoise-based real estate company are handling the sale.
“It was the original Kildare Village, but Kildare got the jump on it because the motorways were a bit too slow in that area.
“It would probably cost in the region of €30 million to build it, so we’ll be selling it for much less than the build-cost.”
Some of the key features of the property include:
- 650 car parking spaces,
- Five-minute walk to Rathdowney town, adjacent to Mr Price, and two minutes from Dunnes Stores,
- All on ground floor level. Wheelchair accessible with 20 entry/exit points,
