In March 2000, Tesco began planning to build a "£20 million shopping centre" in Dublin 17.

In May 2002, it was announced that Tesco had received approval to build a €70 million shopping centre in the Clare Hall area of Dublin following a campaign lasting four years.

[citation needed] The ground level is mostly parking, with external laundry facilities and a Tesco grocery collection point.

[citation needed] The main building features a high glass roof, designed to capture heat and increase operational efficiency.

[citation needed] Within the curtilage of the main centre is a smaller building, formerly primarily housing a gym with swimming pools but now divided into a range of shops, along with a restaurant.
