Point Square

The main building of the development - now branded as Point Square - containing the retail, hotel and cinema elements as well as office space - was completed prior to the post-2008 Irish economic downturn, however the retail element did not open except as an entry to the cinema.^[3]

Dunnes Stores had agreed to be the anchor of the retail element, but has delayed opening the store for more than a decade, appealing repeated legal demands to do so.^[4] Some of the internal units are to be combined and converted to health or leisure units due to continued low demand for retail ^[5] Dunnes Stores have since opened a supermarket in Point Square in December 2023. The office space has been taken by Oath,^[6] moving some operations from their main location at East Point Business Park, and Voxpro.^{[citation needed]}

The hotel element of the development operates as The Gibson Hotel, opened in June 2010 and including nine suites, with access to terrace gardens. It also includes a spa, gymnasium, two outdoor hot-tubs and large conference facilities.^[7]

Other tenants include CrossFit and Freshii.^{[citation needed]}

3Arena

The 3Arena (formerly the O₂ concert venue) opened in December 2008, built on the site of the former Point Theatre,^[8] a music venue which operated from 1988 to 2007. Following its closure, the site underwent major redevelopment and was renamed after O2 phone company.^[9] In September 2014, the music venue was renamed 3Arena, after O2 Ireland was sold to Three.^[10]

Student accommodation

Student accommodation provider Host has built a 996-bed unit named "Point Campus" to the North of the development, featuring retail on the ground floor, where tenants include Centra, Pita Pit and Camile Thai.^{[citation needed]}

Other projects

The 73m Exo Building was completed, in 2022, at the eastern end of Point Village.^[11][12]

As of 2018, an aparthotel was under construction to the west of the 3Arena, filling the last empty site. This hotel was acquired by SACO, a UK based apart-hotel group, and was due to be operated by Lockeliving.^[13]
