Fully let Tallaght retail investment for €1.6m offers buyer 10.25% yield
Agent Cushman & Wakefield is guiding a price of €1.6 million for Fortunestown Shopping Centre, a fully let neighbourhood retail investment in
Tallaght
, southwest
Dublin
.
Located 1.5km west of Tallaght town centre and 1.5km southeast of Citywest business campus, the investment comprises seven convenience-focused retail units with about 80 surface car-parking spaces, on a site of circa 1.29 acres (0.52 hectares). While the centre is anchored by a
SuperValu
outlet, this unit was sold on a long leasehold and is excluded from the current sale. The leaseholder continues to contribute to service charges and insurance, however.
Fortunestown Shopping Centre's current tenant line-up includes national and international brands, including Hickeys Pharmacy and Ladbrokes, accounting for approximately 40 per cent of the current annual rental income of €180.560. The remaining units are occupied by long-standing local tenants, including a newsagent, a hair-and-beauty salon, a Chinese takeaway, chip shop and a delicatessen. The tenant covenants are underpinned by a weighted average unexpired lease term of 10 years to expiry and eight years to break.

Nordic group mulls higher offer for Dalata as it buys more shares in Irish hotel chain
A Scandinavian consortium circling Dalata Hotel Group has signalled an interest in potentially making an improved offer for the business, after its €1.3 billion bid was rejected earlier this month. Oslo-based investment firm Eiendomsspar and Swedish hotel company Pandox, in which it owns an almost 25 per cent stake, said on Friday that they have bought 1.69 million shares in Dalata at €6.30 – marking a premium to the €6.05-a-share non-binding offer it had made for the company. 'Consequently, any firm intention to make an offer for Dalata by the consortium in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Irish Takeover Rules, if made, will be at a price of not less than €6.30 per share,' the Nordic group said. 'There can be no certainty that any offer will be made. A further announcement will be made as appropriate. Any offer, if made, is likely to be solely in cash, although the consortium reserves the right to vary the form of consideration and/or introduce other forms of consideration.' READ MORE Eiendomsspar already owned an 8.8 per cent stake in Dalata before it made the bid approach. This latest share buying brings its stake in the Irish hotel group to 9.6 per cent. [ Dalata rejects surprise €1.3bn bid from Scandinavian consortium Opens in new window ] The property firm, which has a history of large investments in hotels, first emerged with a disclosable stake above 3 per cent in Dalata at the end of October. The company added to its stake the following month. But its chief executive, Sigurd Stray, sought to contain speculation at the time that it could amount to a strategic stake-build, telling The Irish Times he saw it as a 'financial investment' that would 'hopefully provide a fair return over time'. The early-June bid came as a surprise as the Pandox-Eiendomsspar consortium had not been involved in a formal sale process, managed by investment bank Rothschild, that has been going on in recent months. Dalata, which is led by chief executive Dermot Crowley, rejected that offer, saying it 'materially undervalues the group and its prospects'. [ Bidding war for Dalata Hotel Group hots up Opens in new window ] The board of Dalata, which floated on the stock market in 2014, hired investment bank Rothschild to carry out a strategic review of the business in March, following a sustained period of underperformance by the stock. Shares in Dalata jumped as much as 5.3 per cent to €6.53 on Friday afternoon, after the Pandox-Eiendomsspar consortium revealed its latest share purchase. The spike suggest that investors are holding out for a bid above the new floor that the consortium has set for a potential second tilt at the company.

Dublin airport operator warned over passenger cap breach
Dublin Airport operator DAA has been issued with an enforcement order by Fingal County Council for breaching the 32 million annual passenger limit, despite a High Court suspension of the cap. An Bord Pleanála imposed the limit on airport's capacity in 2007 as a condition of allowing it add a second terminal. The move was meant to allay fears over traffic jams on roads to and from the airport, which have since been upgraded. State company DAA applied to the council for permission to increase the cap to 36 million and 40 million in separate applications, but has yet to receive a decision from the planning authority. However, in April the High Court effectively suspended the passenger cap pending the outcome of a legal challenge relating to the limit taken last year by Irish airlines Ryanair and Aer Lingus, and Airlines for America, which represents US and Canadian carriers. READ MORE The cap was breached last year when 33.3 million passengers came through the airport. The council has now issued DAA with an enforcement notice which allows a two-year period to comply with the passenger capacity conditions. [ Aviation regulator drops measure from winter travel plan Opens in new window ] 'The two-year period provides an opportunity for DAA to progress their planning applications to increase passenger capacity at Dublin Airport or take such other steps as they consider appropriate to achieve compliance,' the council said. In response to complaints received that the conditions were breached in 2023 and 2024, the council's enforcement unit initiated a formal investigation to assess compliance. 'A warning letter was issued to DAA, providing them with an opportunity to respond, which they did,' the council said. 'Fingal County Council acknowledges the operational complexities presented. However, the information submitted by DAA does not constitute sufficient grounds to prevent further action. The investigation has determined that a breach of the relevant planning conditions has occurred and remains ongoing.' A DAA spokesman described the issuing of the enforcement notice as a 'sorry indictment' of the planning system. 'The fact that Fingal County Council is sending us an enforcement notice regarding 32 million passengers when passenger numbers will be north of 36 million this year and heading towards 40 million before the end of the decade is a sorry indictment of the mess that is the Irish planning system, particularly when it comes to the most vital piece of transport infrastructure on this island,' he said. DAA said that until the 'broken' system was overhauled the airport was effectively 'hamstrung' and unable to grow Ireland's connectivity. It has called for a complete scrapping of the passenger limit and for the airport to be classified as strategic infrastructure, placing relevant decisions in the hands of a national planning body and not a local authority. 'When it took up office, the Government committed to acting speedily to identify and implement a legislative solution that would remove the passenger cap from Dublin Airport,' the DAA spokesman said. 'The Minister has since also said he will bring forward legislation to solve the cap issue, dispel uncertainty and maintain connectivity for Ireland – and this can't happen quickly enough.' Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien last month said he hoped forthcoming legislation could bring an end to the dispute.

Eamon Waters firm appeals refusal for Baggot St hotel
Eamon Waters's Sretaw Hotel Group is challenging Dublin City Council's refusal of a 113 bedroom hotel planned for Baggot Street Lower . The council last month refused planning permission for the scheme at 15-16 Baggot Street Lower after concluding that the scheme would cause serious injury to the special architectural character of the Georgian area. The council also concluded that the proposed six story over basement scheme is inappropriate in terms of its extensive demolition of historic facades along Baggotrath Place and Fitzwilliam Lane. Now, Peachbeach UC, a subsdiary of Srewtaw has lodged an appeal against the decision with An Coimisiun Pleanala, formerly An Bord Pleanala. READ MORE In the appeal drawn up on behalf of Peachbeach UC by director at Tom Phillips + Co, John Gannon, he states that 'we fundamentally disagree with the planning authority's reason for refusal and are of the opinion that the proposal has been sensitively designed and will not give rise to unacceptable impacts on the surrounding context'. Mr Gannon contends that the proposed scheme seeks 'to deliver a high quality, mixed use development on a site in the heart of Dublin city centre'. Mr Gannon stated that the planned hotel site 'is an ideal location for the proposed hotel given its proximity to the proximate numerous tourist attractions, activities and events located within 1km of the site'. Mr Gannon also states that Peachbeach UC has addressed concerns around overlooking into the neighbouring site 'and we wholly disagree that the proposal would set an undesirable precedent in the area'. Mr Gannon contends the council has not supported its contention in its refusal that the development would devalue property in the vicinity. He further argues that the proposal 'will have a minimal impact on the surrounding buildings and will make significant improvements to the streetscape, enhancing the attractiveness of the area as a whole. Mr Gannon said that it is noted that on review of council inter-departmental reports that no one department made a recommendation to refuse. Mr Gannon said that there were recommendations to seek further information and the applicant would have been happy to respond to these issues, had there been an opportunity to do so through a further information request. Last month's refusal follows the council issuing a planning refusal to Peachbeach UC last year for the same site when the firm proposed a 66 bedroom hotel and 23 apartments as part of a six storey scheme. A decision is due on the current appeal in October.
