A groundbreaking development is on the horizon for Dublin as Prime Holdings unveils the design for the proposed Prime Arena, a €190 million winter sports and entertainment facility. Situated in Cherrywood, this ambitious project promises to reshape the local sports landscape.

State-of-the-Art Design

The design, crafted by renowned sports architecture firm Populous, features two Olympic-sized ice rinks and an arena with a seating capacity of 8,000, expandable to 10,500 for larger events. This versatile venue is set to host a variety of activities, including ice hockey, tennis, and concerts, making it a hub for both sports and entertainment.

Economic and Cultural Impact

Prime Arena is projected to draw over 1.5 million visitors annually, positioning it as a significant economic driver and a landmark destination for both local and international audiences. The project has garnered support from key organisations such as the Olympic Federation of Ireland, Dublin Chamber, Tourism Ireland, and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

Planning and Future Prospects

With a planning application set to be submitted soon, the project is moving closer to becoming a reality. The arena’s design aims to offer an immersive experience for spectators, with a warm, layered façade and a public plaza enhancing its identity as a focal point in Cherrywood.

As anticipation builds, the Prime Arena is poised to become a cornerstone of Ireland’s sporting infrastructure, offering world-class facilities and experiences.
