Zara to double size at Dublin South King Street store

Zara is set to more than double the size of its existing store at South King Street in Dublin, expanding into the space formerly occupied by fashion rival H&M.

The retailer will increase the size of its store at Hines’ Chatham & King mixed-use development from 14,000 to 33,000 sq ft, becoming the largest fashion store in the Grafton Street area.

Niall Ryan, senior director of asset management at Hines, said: “We are delighted to see Zara commit to such a substantial expansion of their flagship city centre store.

“It not only reinforces Grafton Street as Dublin’s premier retail destination, it also underscores the vibrancy of the local retail commercial landscape moving into 2024.

“Chatham & King has proved to be a centrepiece development in the rejuvenation of this historic quarter and is home to the world’s leading fashion and luxury brands and today’s announcement by Zara is yet another strong endorsement of the success we have seen to date with this portfolio.”
