Real Estate

Our real estate team acts for a diverse range of clients across all areas of commercial real estate.

We advise institutional and private clients on investment, leasing, real estate finance, development and have leading market expertise in the residential sector (PRS and social housing).

We advise a number of Ireland’s most established real estate developers from site assembly, financing, construction to ultimate disposal. We also frequently advise landlords and tenants on occupational lease transactions.

In recent years, the real estate sector has become far more specialised. We embrace Ireland’s evolving real estate landscape by drawing on the resources in our planning, environmental, construction, corporate, finance and tax teams to deliver tailored and innovative solutions that achieve the best results for our clients. The experience we’ve gained from acting in large scale projects helps us form compact teams that collaborate quickly when required.

Whatever challenge you face, our focus is always on completing the deal, taking great care with every detail.

  • Purchase, development, sale and leasing of commercial property
  • PRS/social housing/residential development schemes
