The Opportunity

A constrained market creates clear opportunity

Ireland's housing shortage, combined with conservative bank lending, has created a gap in the market for mezzanine financing to experienced developers.

01

Rising Demand

Ireland’s population has been the fastest growing in the EU since 2016. Over 100,000 people currently sit on waiting lists for social and affordable housing.

02

Chronic Undersupply

The undersupply dates back to the banking crisis, with minimal new builds from 2009–2018. The country continues to struggle delivering housing in sufficient numbers.

03

Conservative Banking

Since the crisis, banks have followed low-leverage lending strategies, creating challenges for developers pursuing funding for viable projects.

Government Commitment

The “Housing for All” plan targets 50,000+ new builds annually, up from the current 20–30,000. Policy momentum is behind delivery.
