History

Initially, They built the centre for a hospital site in 1994. Accordingly, bought at the cost of £5.97 million, a 12,000 m2 (3-acre). Additionally, the shopping centre rebuilding cost of £76 million. Most of the facade of the former Hospital retained and incorporated into the Shopping Centre.

Jervis Shopping Centre opened in 1996 and extends to 37,000 sq.m. The centre was originally anchored by Debenhams, M&S and Tesco, and boasts 750 Car Parking spaces.

The property is strategically located on Mary /Henry Street, one of Irelands busiest high streets. Since 1996 Jervis Shopping Centre has established itself as Dublin’s most successful and vibrant shopping environment.

Although its main entrance is on Mary Street, the centre name is for Jervis Street Hospital. Therefore, the hospital’s closure in the late 1980s. There is another entrance in Jervis street as well.

The existing Marks and Spencer store on Mary Street incorporated into the new centre. The other anchor tenants being Quinnsworth (now Tesco) and New Look in the unit formerly occupied by Debenhams.

Jervis Shopping Centre facade

The centre is notable in that, as the first major shopping centre opened during the economic boom of the late 1990s, it marked the first appearance of many British ‘high street’ retailers in the Republic of Ireland.

These included Boots, Dixons, Debenhams, Next, and Argos among others, which have gone on to become major names in the main streets of Ireland.

This contrasted with existing Irish shopping centres at the time which were usually anchored by local names such as Dunnes, Roches Stores (since taken over by Debenhams), and Penneys.

Not all of the new arrivals were successes,  British Home Stores opened a store in 1996. Accordingly, having sold all of its Irish interests to Primark. However, the outlet was not a success and later sold to Heatons.
