The South Dublin County Council agreed to sell 48 acres of land, which is to be converted into a full-scale film and TV production facility.
The sale of the land at Grange Castle Business Park will generate € 26.4 million for SDCC, and buyer Lens Media is expected to invest an initial € 125 million in site development.
He plans to build 12 state-of-the-art sound stages, 100,000 square feet of workshop space, and 100,000 square feet of office space.
Construction will create up to 1,500 jobs, while the completed facility could directly employ 1,800 people.
“The economic impact of this decision will be huge in terms of jobs created and the revenue this will generate for the South Dublin County Council to reinvest in the county,” said South Dublin County Mayor Cllr Vicki Casserly.
A Lens Media spokesperson said the new media park would be a “world-class facility” that “will help propel Ireland to become a major world-class player in the creative screen industries.”
