EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
A prime freehold site of approx. 2.78 hectares (6.8 acres)
A 10 year grant of planning permission to construct a 1.5 million
sq. ft urban quarter comprising 490 luxurious apartments,
152 bedroom hotel and associated retail /commercial space
The existing hotels, the Ballsbridge Hotel (400 bedrooms)
and Clyde Court Hotel (185 bedrooms) currently let to Tulane
Business Management Limited (a subsidiary of Dalata Hotel
Group Plc.) under short term leases offer a unique opportunity
for purchasers to:
• Operate 585 profitable hotel bedrooms
• Refurbish, rebrand and extend the existing hotels
with hundreds of new bedrooms
• Maximise site usage with infill premium
residential apartments
• Operate a single complex of this size in a prime Dublin
location with unrivalled economies of scale
Project Trinity arguably represents the best residentially-led
development opportunity in Ireland in the last 10 years
A truly contemporary designed apartment scheme that offers
the highest level of residential living with a very high standard of
amenity for future home owners
The scheme will become a showcase of high end luxury residential
living not yet witnessed in Dublin
Due to the site’s location, the uniqueness of the planning permission
and its overall design, this project will be a flagship for future
high-end residential development in Dublin for years to come
The pent up demand from domestic and international buyers
for quality apartments in prime locations in Dublin 4, coupled
with the backdrop of limited competing supply, will ensure a
successful sales campaign for the scheme when completed
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to be part of a
truly transformative development story for anyone who is
serious about urban development in Europe

COMMENTARY
I
D U B L I N
DUBLIN:
domestic wage growth has led
to more internal tourist activity
with 5.7 million domestic
trips taken by Irish residents
in the first three quarters of
2014 – a 2.7% increase on the
same period in 2013. This has
fed through to a big increase
in the demand for hotel beds,
especially in Dublin.
Ibec is predicting that just
over 40,000 new jobs will be
added this year and next, which
will see the unemployment rate
fall below 9% in 2015, for the
first time since January 2009, and
further to just over 8% in 2016.
Further wage rises are likely as
the labour market tightens.
International factors are
also favourable for the Irish
economy. Since the ECB
announced its plans for a
major quantitative easing (QE)
programme on 22nd January
2015 the Euro has weakened
against the Dollar and Sterling.
This is further contributing to
in domestic demand for seven
years and is leading to a more
balanced and broadly based
recovery. At a sectoral level
growth is now permeating
into all sectors of the economy
including agriculture (10.1%),
construction (6.9%) and
services (3.4%).
The tourism sector has been
a big winner in the recovery
accounting for 18% of all new
jobs since the Q1 2012 trough.
Strong GDP growth in our
main tourist markets (2.4% in
the US and 2.8% in the UK in
2014), a significant decline in
the value of the Euro (-21.6%
vs the Dollar and -13% vs
Sterling in the year to March
2015) and the reduced VAT rate
on tourism (13.5% to 9% in
July 2011) have all contributed
to increased numbers of foreign
visitors. Over 7.5 million
non-residents visited Ireland
in 2014, the highest number
since 2008. At the same time,
reland was Europe’s
fastest growing economy
in 2014 with GDP
expanding by 4.8% in
the year - the fastest rate
of increase since 2007. Initially,
the recovery was driven by
foreign direct investment,
improved productivity, and
growth in net exports. In
turn this has led to a strong
improvement in the labour
market - since Q1 2012 a net
114,000 new jobs have been
generated and, in the last year
alone, nearly 43,000 people
have left the live register.
With more people at work,
household disposable incomes
have risen by nearly 3% in the
last two years and real wages
grew by 2.6% in 2014.
This has benefitted the
consumer economy with
sentiment, VAT receipts and
retail sales all now rising
strongly. Ultimately this is
reflected in the first increases
&
the competitiveness of Irish
exports, including tourism
services. In addition to driving
net exports, QE should ensure
that interest rates remain low
for the foreseeable future,
and this will help drive the
investment component of
GDP. In terms of real estate
markets, low interest rates
should drive further investment
into bricks and mortar and
should also assist in improving
the affordability of residential
property for owner occupiers.
Taken together, these factors
will lead to another strong year
for the Irish economy in 2015
with with Ibec expecting GDP
to grow by 5.4%. In saying
this, a stronger than anticipated
recovery in the European
economy, a pre-election fiscal
boost and a decisive outcome
in the UK general election
could contribute to the Irish
economy outperforming this
central forecast.

Internationally, Dublin is seen as a highly attractive
investment location and is the EMEA headquarters
of many of the world’s major companies.
Ireland’s capital is lauded for its welcoming
and pro-business culture, its young, educated
workforce, and its ability to attract global talent in
areas such as IT, financial services, digital media and
pharmaceuticals.
Within a two-hour flight of most major European
cities, Dublin benefits from an outstanding location in
Europe and is seen as the gateway to the continent.
Dublin International Airport connects Ireland
to 175 worldwide destinations with direct links to
every country in the EU and same-day connections
to the US and Asia. The purpose-built United States
Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) facility at
Terminal 2 in Dublin International Airport allows
US-bound passengers to undertake all immigration
and customs inspections prior to departure.
Dublin is a talent hotspot at the heart of the east
region which is home to five universities and four
institutes of technologies, producing approximately
26,800 graduates each year.

DUBLIN: INTERNET CAPITAL OF EUROPE
Known as Europe’s Silicon
Valley, Dublin is the internet
capital of Europe and many
of the world’s top online
multinational companies
including Google, Facebook,
Twitter, PayPal and LinkedIn
have based their EMEA
headquarters in the city.
Dublin is also Europe’s
fastest growing city for
data centre operators with
investments from leading
technology firms such as
Microsoft and Amazon.
Ireland’s favourable 12.5%
corporation tax rate has
reinforced the appeal of Dublin
as an ideal hub location for
these companies.
Ireland also ranked 13th
out of 189 countries for ease
of doing business in the World
Bank’s Doing Business 2015
report – a climb of four places
on last year’s position.
This Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) into Ireland
has helped to fuel economic
growth and has led to
significant job creation.
Over one third of the jobs
created in Ireland over the past
two years have been located in
Dublin with ICT, in particular,
accounting for nearly 17% of
these positions.
The tech boom and the
high-income jobs it has created
have contributed to increased
demand for both commercial
space and housing in the city
centre leading to strong rental
and capital price growth.

PRIME
RESIDENTIAL
QUARTER
Roly’s Bistro
The location is unrivalled in
the heart of Dublin’s prime
residential quarter.
This area of Dublin
City commands the highest
residential sales values. The area
is synonymous for exclusive
high-end apartments, but supply
has been limited due to the lack
of appropriate development sites.
The current mix of uses and
architectural styles in the area
reflect the vibrancy and vitality
of Ballsbridge. The surrounding
streets of Pembroke Road,
Wellington Road, Elgin Road
and Lansdowne Road comprise
some of the city’s best examples
of Victorian red brick villa
and terrace housing, bounded
by a mix of contemporary
commercial buildings, set among
wide tree-lined streets.

Royal Dublin Society (RDS)
Ballsbridge has a diversity of life, pace
and perspectives indelibly reflected in its
built form, from the buzz of Ballsbridge
village on Saturday afternoon to the quiet
calm of Herbert Park.

A VIBRANT EXCLUSIVE
NEW URBAN QUARTER
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
URBAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
IN IRELAND AND THE UK
O
nce in a generation,
an opportunity
arises to be part of a
truly transformative
development story in
one of Dublin’s most affluent areas.
Project Trinity is a prime
residential and hotel opportunity
unlike any other in the country.
The single land holding
represents one of the largest
predominantly residential
development opportunities in
Dublin 4 and with the benefit of
a FULL 10 YEAR GRANT OF
PLANNING PERMISSION for a
high-quality architectural scheme,
designed by O’Mahony Pike
Architects, one of Ireland’s leading
architectural practices.
No other opportunity of this
scale is likely to be presented
again in Dublin. Project Trinity
combines remarkable location with
EXCEPTIONAL POTENTIAL.
In the right hands this site will
become a showcase of high-end
luxury residential living not seen
before in Dublin as well as having
the development potential to
deliver a new four to five star hotel
for the Dublin City Centre market.
The proposed development
specifically provides for a
predominately HIGH END
RESIDENTIAL scheme
complimented by the highest
quality hotel and ancillary
retail and commercial uses
within a new urban landscape
of new pedestrian streets and a
public plaza.
The scheme is laid out in
12 No. distinct pavillions with
a large emphasis ensuring the
24
design follows the urban
gestures of the surrounding
Victorian and contemporary
commercial buildings.
The scheme will secure a
very HIGH STANDARD OF
AMENITY for future occupants.
There is a range of unit types and
quality private and public open
spaces provided.
The proposed scheme, close to
quality public transport, features a
highly permeable design, offering
new pedestrian streets and plazas
with active frontages together with
high quality open spaces such as
the feature courtyard gardens.
Its potential owners have the
opportunity to deliver a new
generation of apartment living
to Dublin, similar to that seen in
schemes in London’s West End or
Central Park South in New York.
For anyone serious about
urban development in Europe
IT DOESN’T GET BETTER
THAN THIS.
Project Trinity is one of the
most important urban projects in
Western Europe.
The location and the benefit of the
existing planning permission will
make Project Trinity the primary
location for the future development
of high-end residential development
in Dublin over the next 10 years.

Description
Total Gross Development
The permission was granted on
15th September 2011 and is valid until
December 2021.
The proposed development is primarily
residential in nature, but includes other
compatible uses such as hotel, retail, restaurant/
bar and healthcare/childcare facilities. The
proposed development is laid out in 12 No.
distinct blocks and will reinvigorate the built
environment of this area, enhance pedestrian
permeability, and provide new local services
appropriate to the underlying attraction of
Ballsbridge as a residential location.
The scheme is based around new
standalone pavilion-style residential blocks
and gardens fronting but slightly set back from
Lansdowne and Pembroke Roads. In addition,
there are new residential terraced buildings
that form around new landscaped courtyards
gardens, located over the commercial retail
space and a hotel building fronting a new
plaza onto Pembroke Road. The scheme has
significant public space and new streets which
will add permeability and accessibility of the
entire urban quarter, including a new sheltered
arcade street extending from New Pembroke
Street through to Lansdowne Road.
The building form echoes the existing villas
and terrace forms of the existing streets and
square but with a modern contemporary twist.
PARKING AND ACCESS
The scheme allows for
920 no. car park spaces and
899 bicycles spaces over a part
three level basement. Vehicle
access to the basement is via
three separate entrances from
Shelbourne Road, Lansdowne
Road and Pembroke Road.
The subject site has natural
advantages in terms of accessibility,
enjoying approximately 516 metres
of road frontage to Pembroke
Road, Lansdowne Road and
Shelbourne Road. The site also
links with No 1 Ballsbridge (the
former Veterinary College) and
through to Shelbourne Road.

HOUSING
MARKET
OVERVIEW
DEMAND AND
SUPPLY DYNAMICS
Latest estimates indicate that
Dublin’s population stands at just
under 1.3 million people – more
than one quarter of Ireland’s
total headcount and a rise of
11.3% over the last ten years.
In addition, average
household sizes have fallen by
7.5%, meaning that the number
of housing units required to
accommodate this increasing
population is rising faster still.
These factors, along with
a requirement to replace the
properties which become
obsolete each year, necessitate the
building of approximately 7,000
new residential units per annum
in Dublin.
However, this target has
not been met since 2008. As
shown on page 46, the average
number of housing completions
in Dublin over the last six years
has been under 3,000, and just
3,259 residential units were
constructed last year. This deficit
has been particularly acute in the
Dublin City Council area where
Ballsbridge is located.
In this area, completions per
thousand of population were the
fifth lowest of any area in Ireland
in 2014 and were the lowest in
the Greater Dublin area.
These twin dynamics of
strong demand and tight supply
have impacted on values and
apartment prices in some parts of
Dublin have risen by nearly 30%
since Q1 2013.

RESIDENTIAL PRICE OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, the fundamental demand for residential property in Dublin is likely to remain strong
with the Central Statistics Office forecasting population growth of 7.7% by 2021. In addition,
expected economic growth should lead to a further recovery in confidence and the improving jobs
market will see a continuation of recent earnings increases which will support housing demand in the
medium term.
At the same time although construction activity is slowly beginning to re-emerge, an analysis of
planning permissions and commencement notices suggests that the pipeline of housing supply will
continue to significantly undershoot demand for the foreseeable future (see graph below).
Given this forecast of continuing strong demand and subdued construction, the outlook for Irish
residential property prices is positive. Savills house view is that prices will rise by 8-12% in 2015.
Thereafter, overall residential price inflation is expected to moderate to around 5% per annum. This
will reflect a natural slowdown in the growth rate as the post-crisis undervaluation unwinds and the
pricing base increases. In saying that, some parts of the market could see faster growth in capital
values. This is especially true for high quality dwellings in Dublin’s best locations, such as Ballsbridge,
which, by their nature, will always command a premium. Likewise, if the macro-economy was to
surpass current growth forecasts then stronger residential price growth is likely.

PRIVATE RENTED MARKET
The percentage of Irish households in rented accommodation increased from 19% in 2006 to 32%
in 2011. The demand for rented accommodation continues to be driven by illiquidity in the supply of
properties to buy, tighter mortgage lending rules and debt resolution processes. The restricted supply
of new housing – either for owner occupation or the buy-to-let market – has driven up rents by around
10% in Dublin during 2014. As with the owner occupier market, rental values will continue to be
supported by tight supply for the foreseeable future.

Occupying a privileged position in the most prime section of
Dublin 4, this site represents an alluring prospect for highvalue residential development. Due to its strategic location,
underpinned by its excellent pre-existing infrastructure, an
existing grant of planning permission will make it Dublin’s
largest and most anticipated new residential project of the
coming decade in Dublin’s CBD.
The proposed scheme will deliver large, modern, sophisticated
and high specification apartments alongside hotel and retail
opportunities. Facilities currently available in the immediate
1 31 – 33 MERRION ROAD, DUBLIN 4

50 luxury apartments in Dublin’s most exclusive and upmarket
suburb. The apartments range in size from 95 sq m (1,021 sq ft) to
156 sq m (1,684 sq ft). 38 no. apts are currently for sale individually
through Savills. Prices in excess of €7,535 per sq m (€700 per sq ft)
are being achieved. Significant international interest, specifically from
the UK, which has led to an extensive waiting list for the next release
of further units.
A modern purpose-built development of 80 apts including spacious
3-Bed penthouses. A large penthouse of 167 sq m (1,800 sq ft) sold in
2014 or excess €1,350,000 equating to €8,080 per sq m (€750 per sq
ft). A 2-Bed apt sold for a price equivalent to €7,535 per sq m (€700
per sq ft) in 2014. There are currently 5 apts for sale; 4 no. 2-Bed
apts ranging in size of between 76-80 sq m (818 - 860 sq ft) asking
€750,000 equivalent to €9,375 per sq m - €9,870 per sq m (€870
- €915 per sq ft) and a 3-Bed apt of 130 sq m (1,400 sq ft) seeking
€1,350,000 equating to €10,400 per sq m (€965 per sq ft).*
18 Lower Baggot Street is a development of 25 spacious and
elegant apartments. The apartments were sold individually by
Savills over a number of weeks in 2014. Prices of up to 7,535 per sq m
(€700 per sq ft) were achieved with buyers being a combination
or UK and Irish-based.
area include Herbert Park, the Herbert Park Hotel, the RDS
and the Aviva Stadium.
The proposed scheme has unique features and a multitude
of amenities that can meet all future home owners’ needs.
Whether buyers are searching for a luxury one bed apartment
or a large 4 bed to accommodate a larger family, these luxury
apartments will be in high demand.
The scheme is situated in the most desirable areas in
Dublin, close to great schools, restaurants, cultural spots,
shopping and transportation.

Given the scale of the development, buyers will come from a

as being most active;

Rexdon Court is a modern, boutique development located beside the
Intercontinental Hotel, RDS and Herbert Park. A number of sales
transacted throughout 2014 with sales prices in excess of €800,000

A modern apartment development by OMP architects of 297 no.
apartments together with a 154-Bed Hotel located on the banks of
the Dodder River adjoining Herbert Park. The Herbert Park apartments
regularly achieve prices in the region of €7,535 per sq m (€700 per sq ft).
6 THE MARKER RESIDENCES, DUBLIN 2
The Marker Residences adjacent to the five-star Marker Hotel in Grand
Canal Dock consisting of 84 no. 2 bedroom apartments. Irish Residential
Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (Ires Reit) acquired the block
for €50.1 million representing an initial yield of 3.93%.
TRADE DOWN
BUYERS
This sector is currently
accounting for the majority of
transactions. With the lack of
new construction since 2007,
there is a severe shortage of
large, high quality apartments in
the Dublin 4 area.
The majority of buyers are
trading down from larger period
properties in the Ballsbridge
area, who ultimately want to stay
in the area but are not willing
to sacrifice on quality or unit
size. There is a growing appetite
from trade down buyers who see
value in the market currently
due to expected future price
growth and will purchase now,
rent in the short term with a
view to ultimately occupying the
property on retirement. These
premium buyers have very high
expectations and have experience
of living in large apartments
on the continent. High on their
list of essential requirements
include underground storage,
parking, large lateral floor plates
and security, all of which will be
catered for at this development.
2
INVESTORS / MULTI
FAMILY OWNERS
The majority of investors are
international and we are witnessing
foreign buyers coming from as
far afield as Australia, Malaysia
and the US. The greatest appetite,
however, is coming from UK buyers,
specifically ex-pats from the
Greater London area. The strength
of Sterling against the Euro has
created a increased value proposition
in Irish property.
High net worth domestic
investors will also be attracted
by expected price growth and the
potential ability to purchase from
plans prior to construction.
In addition, since 2011 Ireland
has seen the emergence of multi
family investors. We have seen
buyers purchasing stock in Ireland,
particularly Dublin, from all over the
world with over 4,250 units traded in
Dublin alone since 2011.
As noted the outlook for 2015 is
positive and we envisage continued
strong demand from this sector
of the market. The only barrier is
a lack of multi-family investment
opportunities. An element of this
scheme will ultimately help meet
that demand.
3
FAMILIES & YOUNG
PROFESSIONALS
Given the generous size of the
apartments and the exclusive
nature of the development, we
believe that professional couples
with children will see this as a
unique opportunity to acquire a
family home in Dublin 4 and as
an alternative to trying to secure
older Victorian housing.
A high-quality new apartment
set in an excellent and central
location will offer buyers an
alternative to the traditional
older homes in the location. On
site facilities such as a concierge,
gym, cafes and restaurants will
further enhance the attraction to
the scheme.

THE
HOTEL
ASSETS
CURRENT STATUS
AND OPPORTUNITY
T
he hotels were Dublin landmarks during the later part of the 20th Century.
Ballsbridge opened as the Intercontinental Dublin, before successfully rebranding
as the iconic Jurys Hotel Ballsbridge and in 1986 opened The Towers five star
extension. The Clyde Court opened in 1972 as the 5 Star Berkeley Court, which
traded at the very top of the Dublin hotel market. Since January 2012, both
hotels are let to Tulane Business Management Limited (a subsidiary of Dalata Hotel Group
Plc.). Dalata PLC raised €265m in a March 2014 IPO and in the past year acquired 16 hotels,
making it the largest Irish hotel operator with 7,580 bedrooms, including 3,385 in Dublin.

TRADE
VALUE ENHANCEMENT
The hotels generate significant revenues and
recorded strong profit growth in recent years.
Occupancy % and ADR are growing quickly, as
the hotels begin to recapture market share in
the recovering Dublin hotel market.
The two hotels on this site contain 585
bedrooms or 15% of Four star hotel bedrooms in
Central Dublin and provide a unique opportunity
to significantly grow from investment.

REFURBISHMENT
LEASE SUMMARY
The hotels have consistently delivered resilient returns with notable downside protection and
today offer significant potential for increased performance through value-enhancing capital
investment in the rooms and public areas. The refurbishment of the hotels would allow the
incoming purchaser to significantly improve cash flows.
Both hotels are currently let to Tulane Business Management
Limited (a subsidiary of Dalata Hotel Group Plc.)
The lease Terms are for five years from 1st April 2013.
There are Landlord Break Options at 31st December 2015 (three
months notice) and 30th September 2016 (six months notice).
Rent is a combination of Base Rent and Additional Rent, based
on profitability.
REPOSITIONING & REBRANDING
The hotels offer a rare and sought-after
opportunity for international hotel
operators to open flags of their leading
brands in central Dublin. Following the
termination of the existing operating
leases and refurbishment, the hotels offer
the unique flexibility for upscaling and
re-branding, bringing robust returns
to the incoming purchaser along with
economies of scale from operating as a
single complex.
CURRENT HOTEL CONFIGURATION AND SITE UTILIZATION
LANSDOWNE RD
BALLSBRIDGE HOTEL
CLYDE COURT HOTEL
A competitive set of Dublin 4 hotels recorded 20% RevPAR Growth in 2014 and
out-performed the Dublin market which grew by 11%. This comparable set grew
RevPAR by a faster rate in the initial months of 2015 (Source: STR Global)
For 2015 and 2016, Dublin is forecast to be the best performing European City
for RevPAR growth, estimated at almost 9% and 8% respectively (Source: PwC)
Dublin expects virtually no new bedroom supply in 2015, with growth coming
from change of use to underused areas and small extensions, with one new opening
in 2016 (Source: AM:PM)
It is estimated that 5,000 additional hotel bedrooms are required in Dublin
by 2020 (Source: ITIC)

Current trade and key market statistics support
investment in a substantial extension. The existing
layout of the Ballsbridge and Clyde Court Hotels,
with the single storey elements and vast surface car
parking, allows immense scope for expansion and
development. There is a great opportunity for the
addition of guest bedrooms to one or both hotels
and the provision of Dublin’s No 1 conferencing
and banqueting facility, creating the largest and
most profitable hotel complex in Ireland.

DUBLIN HOTEL
MARKET OVERVIEW
B
oth in terms of tourism and business travel, Dublin is at the heart of Ireland’s
burgeoning hotel trade. Known as the Silicon Valley of Europe, Dublin is the
EMEA headquarters for many of the world’s top online companies such as
Google, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal and LinkedIn and also a leading location for a
range of international financial, pharma and ICT companies. This historic city is
also the most popular tourist region in the country with 5.7 million overseas visits in 2014.
Dublin was the best performing city in Europe in 2014 with RevPAR growth of 11.1%.
> DEMAND
IMPACT OF FOREIGN
EXCHANGE RATES
OVERSEAS ARRIVALS
all arrivals in 2014, up 8% on 2013. Trips to
Ireland from mainland Europe, Ireland’s
second largest market, accounted
for 35% of arrivals, up 7% on 2013 figures
at 2.6 million. Arrivals from North America
saw the biggest year on year increase, up
15% on 2013 reaching a period high of
1.3 million visitors.
The number of international arrivals to
Ireland remains marginally below prior peak
levels with plenty of room to grow.
Another factor supporting growth in tourism to Ireland has been recovery in
the economies of key trading partners, particularly the US and UK, growing by
2.4% and 2.8% respectively over the last year. Both countries are adding new
jobs, with total employment up 2.0% in the UK while US unemployment now
stands at 5.5% as of March 2015.
US and UK tourists’ purchasing power in Europe has increased due to
the weakening Euro. These strong fundamentals will attract higher visitor
numbers, which is important as visitors from the UK and US currently account
for over 50% of total visitors to Ireland.

in Dublin 1 during 2016.

DUBLIN HOTEL PERFORMANCE
A combination of these demand and
supply factors have resulted in the
rejuvenation of occupancy at Dublin’s
Hotels increasing from 67% in 2010 to
approx. 78% in 2014. This is the fourthhighest occupancy in Europe according to
PwC, behind London, Edinburgh and Paris,
highlighting the popularity of Dublin with
both business and leisure visitors.
Since occupancies at Dublin hotels
have reached 78%, ADR has become the
main growth lever increasing from €77 in
2010 to approx. €96 in 2014 according to
STR. Along with the traditional calendar
of major Dublin events, recent additions
include The Web Summit (attendance
doubled to 20,000 in November 2014)
and the Croke Park Classic American
Football series.
ADR in Dublin is approx.
9% below 2008 levels of €105, but STR
anticipate that level will be exceeded in
early 2016.

Dublin is home to approximately
one third of total Irish hotel
rooms. Within Dublin there are
approx. 150 hotels providing
close to 19,000 bedrooms.

The Grow Dublin Taskforce announced
“Destination Dublin – A Collective
Strategy for Growth to 2020” plan in
2014, with the aim of increasing visitor
numbers by 7% a year.
According to the Irish Tourism
Industry Confederation (ITIC), Dublin
needs as many as 30 new hotels (5,000
bedrooms) between now and 2020 to
accommodate the expected growth in
visitors. AM:PM expect only 464 new
rooms to open in the next 3 years in
Dublin. This includes the opening of a
202 bedroom Holiday Inn Express in
O’Connell Street (Dublin 1) in 2016 and
a 100 bedroom Weatherspoon’s Hotel in
Camden Street (Dublin 2) in 2017.

This lack of new supply and capacity constraints means future RevPAR
growth in the Dublin market will be driven by increases in ADR. This is
forecast to increase to €102 in 2015 and €109 in 2016. According to PwC
the top European growth stories in 2015 are expected to be Dublin with
8.8% growth in 2015 and again in 2016.
HOTEL BRANDS
HOTEL TRANSACTIONS
The Dublin hotel market currently
has 16 international branded hotels
equating to only 10% of total hotel stock.
In comparison to similar sized cities
such as Edinburgh, Dublin is relatively
under-subscribed from an International
brand perspective. There is an excellent
opportunity for brands to enter the
Dublin market and we believe there is
strong appetite from the brands and their
customers.
There were limited Irish hotel sales from
2008 to 2011. However, since 2012 the
level and number of transactions have
improved year-on-year. In 2014 the total
value reached €440m with the volume
of transactions increasing up 50%. Q1
2015 exceeded that level boosted by
recent portfolio transactions including
the acquisition of Jurys Inn chain by Lone
Star and the Moran Bewley Hotel Group by
Dalata Plc. which included the purchase
of the three star Bewleys Ballsbridge Hotel
(304 bedrooms, Dublin 4) for €75m
(€247k per bedroom).
