PROJECT CARLOW 2040

Project Carlow 2040 is a 20-year strategy aimed at revitalising Carlow Town’s urban environment, economy, and infrastructure. Backed by €23 million in Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) investment, the initiative includes major public realm and connectivity upgrades, many of which are set for completion in 2025. For the Hadden’s Centre, these works will bring direct benefits through enhanced paving, lighting, and pedestrian infrastructure along Tullow Street, significantly improving accessibility and appeal. New pedestrian links connecting Barrack Street, the Potato Market, and the train station will further increase footfall and visibility, reintegrating the Centre into a rejuvenated and more vibrant town core.



Situated in the heart of Carlow Town, this landmark property enjoys dual access from Tullow Street, the town's main retail thoroughfare, and Kennedy Avenue, a key access route. The area experiences high footfall and is surrounded by national and local retailers, educational institutions, and public amenities.

Carlow has a growing population, with Carlow Town now home to 27,351 residents, marking a 13% increase since the 2016 Census. The population of County Carlow stands at 61,938, reflecting a 9% growth over the same period.

The Hadden’s Centre is set to benefit substantially from the ongoing urban regeneration under Project Carlow 2040, which includes a new pedestrian walkway and enhanced public realm. These improvements will boost accessibility and attract increased footfall to the centre.

The location offers a vibrant mix of occupiers, from major brands such as Penneys, EBS, Lloyd’s Pharmacy and Shaws Department Store to independent cafs and boutique retailers.
