Sean Gallagher has announced that his new commercial property firm, Clyde Real Estate, has completed the largest commercial property transaction in Ireland in the first quarter of 2015.
The firm is located in the IDA Business and Technology Park in Dublin 15, the former headquarters of technology giant, Alcatel Lucent.
Clyde Real Estate has acquired almost 1 million square feet of office and commercial space throughout the country, and is working on a pipeline of further acquisitions. Currently completing its first investment round of €25 million, the firm is in negotiations to acquire further facilities nationwide as part of its next portfolio.
Gallagher says the company is focused on building a substantial office and commercial property portfolio and to becoming a key player in the sector both here and internationally.
Gallagher said, "In particular, we are currently focused on acquiring quality assets in towns and cities where there are Universities and Institutes of Technology who can provide a steady supply of talent to companies choosing to set up in these locations.
We are already working closely with the IDA, local enterprise agencies and Local Authorities and have also begun targeting FDI companies directly through organisations such as Connect Ireland and the Ireland–Gateway to Europe initiative.
Ireland has much to offer as a location for business and we, in Clyde Real Estate, are focused on making a significant contribution to Ireland’s future in this regard."
