Galway City Council has approved plans for a new commercial development which is expected to support 50 jobs when completed.
Parkmore Land Investments has received planning permission for the construction of a high bay warehouse facility with ancillary packaging area, loading docks, offices, and staff facilities.
The warehouse, with a total floorspace of 4,384m², is to be built on a greenfield site in Parkmore West Business Park.
The city council requested further information from the developer on what the type of proposed warehousing in the development would be.
A cover letter submitted in response said that the specific tenant details could not be disclosed at this time for commercial and operational reasons.
However, it stated that the end tenant provides “critical support services” for a range of life sciences and pharma clients both locally and nationally.
It is expected that the warehouse facility will have a permanent staff of approximately 50 people on-site, while also acting as a hub for travelling and remote employees. It will serve as a headquarters for approximately 200 staff total.
Planning permission for the warehouse was granted by the city council with a total of 27 conditions attached.
Among those, the developer is required to pay a contribution of €65,760 to the council towards the provision of public services for the site.
