The Masterplan will provide the basis for the regeneration of Shannon Free Zone and the adjoining areas, and for Shannon's further enhancement as one of Ireland's premier locations for modern internationally traded manufacturing and international services. This is a large-scale complex master planning project and will include greenfield, brownfield, regeneration and reconstruction master planning.

'This is a very important development for the Shannon Free Zone, Shannon International Airport and Shannon Town, for counties Clare and Limerick and for the Shannon Region, because it will serve as the basis for the regeneration and development of Shannon Free Zone in the coming decades. Its implementation over that period will result in large scale development of offices, laboratories, factories and warehouses, which will provide accommodation for next generation businesses and will maintain the Shannon Free Zone's leading position in the international market" says Mr Michael Leydon, Strategic Projects Manager, Shannon Development.

Shannon Free Zone is Ireland's leading multi-sectoral business park and has Ireland's largest cluster of North American investments. It currently facilitates over 100 manufacturing and international service companies employing over 7,000 people. Physically, the Shannon Free Zone encompasses 600 acres (250 ha) of land and 4 million sq ft (400,000 sq m) of buildings.

‘PM’s involvement as lead consultant on this project further strengthens our growing track record in the area of strategic industrial master planning. It follows recent successful projects for IDA Ireland at Ringaskiddy, Cork as well as a number of large scale site master plans for clients in the biopharmaceutical sector.’ Said Tony McGrath, project leader.
