Athlone Town Centre

Athlone Town Centre celebrates its first year of business. This mixed use development was the largest single shopping centre to open in Ireland in 2008, and in addition to the retail element it provides, a four star Sheraton Hotel, 160 apartments and a 1,300 space car park. The development also includes the provision of public and private open space in the form of a playground, park, residential squares and courtyards, private gardens, balconies to all residential units and roof gardens.  The challenge, to insert a large mixed use development into an historic setting was assisted by the shape, topography and particular features of the site. The 11 storey hotel is the central iconic element in Athlone’s Town Centre. The quality of interiors and materials reflect and surpass the high standard of new four-star development. Like the shopping mall and apartment buildings, the hotel has a modern and contemporary look.  The tonal range of external finishes, from sophisticated curtain walling to the tower, through to the use of sandstone is warm light and visually rich.
