Plans for a €350m mixed shops, hotel and apartment development overlooking Wexford Harbour are about to be submitted by Deerland Construction, headed up by Derry McPhillips.

The Trinity Wharf project will include a 282 bedroom hotel, conference and leisure centre as well as a shopping mall with three anchor stores and 50 other shops.

In addition there will be a six screen cinema and 266 apartments.

Rising in height from two to 14 storeys, the development will take place on a 2.4 hectare site which straddles the Dublin Rosslare railway line at Trinity Wharf, near the Talbot Hotel in Wexford Town.

One of the apartment blocks will incorporate a feature 14 storey landmark tower element with a gym located on the 13th and 14th storeys and a bar restaurant on the ground floor.

Kilkenny-based Deerland Construction is headed by Derry McPhillips and the company currently has other large towncentre and retail development projects in train in Dundalk, Mullingar, New Ross, Waterford and Kilkenny. It also developed and manages the largest shopping centre in Mullingar, the Harbour Place Shopping Centre where the anchor tenant is Dunnes Stores.

Trinity Wharf will have a total enclosed building area of 120,000 sq m. and the plans for the development also include a 1,946 sq m. food court in the shopping mall as well as three restaurant/bars in three of of the six apartment blocks.

The hotel building will range in height from two to 13 storeys and its leisure centre will include a swimming pool.

Bounded on three sides by Wexford Harbour, the overall project will also contain a 1,217 sq m. community hall, a creche and parking for 1,844 cars in a three storey car park over the two storey retail section.

In addition there will also be a five storey office block with 11,233 sq m. of floor space.

Other features of the development will include a riverside walkway, two plazas and a glazed canopy to the Trinity St entrance.

An existing shop at the Trinity Street portion of the site will be demolished to facilitate the construction of a large linkage platform with bridge over the Dublin-Rosslare rail line, thus providing the main entrance to the scheme.

what limitations would the proposed development place on future enhancements to the Europort line?
