US fashion retailer Tommy Hilfiger Denim is to have its first Irish franchisee store at Liffey Valley in west Dublin. Best Menswear, the group that originated in Dublin's O'Connell Street, will operate the franchise out of a 200 sq m (2,153 sq ft) shop vacated by Warners which has gone into administration.
Neither the landlord or the tenant would disclose the rent, but a shop unit of this size in the centre would rent for around €340,000 under the higher rents now being achieved.
Bernadine Hogan of Hamilton Osborne King says the new store will have the same fit-out as one recently opened in Ludwigsberg, Germany.

Office space to buy/let at Sandyford's Courtyard
Modern office accommodation in a number of sizes is now available either to rent or buy at The Courtyard in Sandyford, where almost half the property has been disposed of in the last six months. In total, the property extends to 5,350 sq m (57,587 sq ft) with generous car-parking provision in a two-storey underground car-park. In keeping with the recent upsurge in transactions at Sandyford, some 45 per cent of the space has been disposed of to companies such as Arachas Insurance, Axim, Cova Properties and Drury Sports Management.
The flexible design by architects Horan Keoghan Ryan means the five-storey property can be divided horizontally or vertically and individual office units range from 254 sq m-2,900 sq m (2,734-31,215 sq ft).
With the introduction of the first LUAS line, Dublin city centre is now only 22 minutes away from Sandyford and the completion of the final section of the M50 will make this one of the most accessible business parks in south Dublin.
The Courtyard is ideally located in Sandyford within two minutes walk of amenities, such as a convenience store, bank ATM and a café. There are a number of bus routes servicing the park, including a feeder bus service direct from Blackrock DART station. Further details are available from joint agents Jones Lang LaSalle and Douglas Newman Good.
