History
In 1996, a planning application was sent to the Fingal County Council, for a commercial complex to be built on a 20-acre site between the Main Street and the Swords by-pass. Construction work was meant to start in the middle of 1997 with an opening in the autumn of 1998, however construction did not begin until 1999.
The Pavilions was eventually opened on the 15 May 2001, by then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. In 2006, the Movies@Swords cinema was opened. Also in 2006, Phase 2 of the centre was opened, which consisted of or retailers such as Penneys. There were plans for a Phase 3, which would have been located at the front of the centre. It would also have been located next to the Swords metro stop on the R132, however Phase 3 has been shelved until further notice.
