A €1.5m investment programme at Blackpool Shopping Centre in Cork has been announced by Lugus Capital, together with joint venture partner Patron Capital.

Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Blackpool Shopping Centre, the investment programme is aimed at modernising and enhancing the customer experience.

The first phase of the programme, which began in September, includes a full re-tiling of the mall. The second phase, due to start in early 2026, will deliver a refreshed environment, including new bulkheads for tenant signage, repainted communal areas, upgraded lighting, and new seating areas.

Lugus Capital head of commercial real estate Roger Dineen said: “Our vision is to position Blackpool Shopping Centre and Retail Park as a best-in-class retail destination in Cork and Munster.

“This investment demonstrates our commitment to modernising the physical environment while also ensuring that our retailers and customers enjoy the highest-quality shopping experience.”

Blackpool Shopping Centre manager John Hartnett said: “Blackpool Shopping Centre has been at the heart of the community in Blackpool for 25 years.

“This investment marks a new era for one of Cork’s most established retail centres."
