Omni Park

The McKeon and Kennedy families opened Omni Park in 1991 in Santry, north Dublin, close to the M50 motorway. The property has expanded significantly since opening, most notably in 2005 with the addition of a multi-storey car park and an entirely new mall wing that included third-floor office suites.

At roughly 28,600 sqm across 86 retail units on two floors, ranging from 49 sqm to more than 3,200 sqm in size, the centre carries Penneys as its primary anchor, with Jack & Jones, Vero Moda, Elverys, Life Style Sports, Carraig Donn and Easons occupying the 2005 expansion wing. An 11-screen IMC cinema, formerly branded Omniplex, anchors entertainment, and a Catholic Oratory sits within the complex, an unusual amenity for a shopping centre of this scale.

A separate “boardwalk” retail-park extension added Boots, Starbucks and Nando’s as further external outlets beyond the enclosed mall itself. The property provides both surface and multi-storey parking.

That phased, decade-spanning expansion, adding a fully new mall wing with office space in 2005 and a further external boardwalk extension afterward, reflects how Omni Park grew organically from its 1991 origins into a genuinely mixed retail, leisure, office and religious-community hub, distinct from shopping centres built to a single masterplan from the outset.
