THE SHANNON Airport Group marked the official sod turning for a major new €14million development in the Shannon Airport Business Park, adjacent to Shannon Airport.

The project will deliver two state-of-the-art industrial units, adding approximately 100,000 square feet of flexible, sustainable space to one of Ireland’s most prominent business locations.

Speaking at the sod turning, Shannon Airport Group interim CEO Ray O’Driscoll said: “We are proud of our record in delivering high-quality commercial property space that meets the needs of modern businesses. This latest development is another step in driving economic growth for the region.”

“By attracting new companies and creating opportunities for people to live, work, and spend locally, we are generating a positive impact that extends far beyond the business park itself.”

With Shannon Airport Business Park close to full occupancy, this investment highlights the continued demand for high-quality industrial and commercial facilities in the region.

The development is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2027.

The development has 180 on-site car parking spaces with designated EV charging locations. This flexibility ensures that the buildings can accommodate a wide range of tenant requirements.

The buildings will be constructed to a shell-and-core standard, offering maximum adaptability for tenants across sectors such as med-tech, life sciences, research and development, light manufacturing, logistics, and future air mobility technologies.

The new development will incorporate advanced energy efficiency measures, low-carbon materials, solar PV panels, rainwater harvesting, and biodiverse landscaping, among other features.
