WHY YOU CAN'T MISS THIS EVENT

Why now?

With landmark deals like Ardstone’s €177M Spencer Place Residential acquisition taking place, PRS investment forecast to more than double in 2026, and a growing demand for residential housing, the 2026 Ireland's Residential Investment and Development Conference couldn’t be more timely. With challenges to address like housing starts falling 84% in 2025 and planning permissions down 18%, the government's own officials are quietly questioning whether it is achievable to deliver 300,000 homes by their 2031 target. With that in mind, Ireland's Residential Investment and Development Conference is designed to bring together the investors, developers, and operators best placed to cut through the noise, confront the hard questions, and build the relationships that will move the market forward.

What You’ll Learn

How industry leaders are navigating Ireland's post-RPZ regulatory reset and how it is shifting investment underwriting, deal structuring, and the appetite of domestic and international capital across the PRS market.
What developers, planners, and policymakers are doing to minimise everything from bottlenecks in planning and design standard uncertainty, to gaps in forward-funding and construction cost inflation.
How incentives like the 9% VAT reduction and 125% corporation tax deduction, combined with forward-funding structures and development debt financing, are helping to close the viability gap on new apartment development.
What raising the bar for residential operations means in practice, from tenant retention drivers like shared community events calendars and one-click online residential portals, to smart water management systems that impact long-term asset performance.
How despite Ireland's chronic undersupply, shifting affordability pressures, and a decade of stop-start policy, leading firms are continuing to drive revenue and grow their portfolios.

How You’ll Do More Business

Whether you are a developer seeking forward-funding partners, an investor evaluating the post-reform regulatory landscape, or a professional services firm looking to connect with the decision-makers driving Ireland's next wave of housing delivery, this event puts you in direct conversation with the senior leaders shaping the market. With dedicated networking built into the programme and a speaker faculty drawn from the largest investors, developers, and operators active in Ireland today, this is where relationships are built and transactions begin.

Who You'll Meet: Owners, developers, investors, architects, construction, designers, brokers, lawyers, accountants, financial institutions and government officials.
