Conference to look at corporate assets

Ireland’s first conference looking at releasing the value of corporate property assets takes place on Thursday at Dublin’s Burlington Hotel.

The half-day conference — to be chaired by Dermot Reilly of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ retail estate group — will look at the value of things like the actual land a business sits on, the industrial or manufacturing facility that houses its operations, the retail units owned, the landbank occupied by a golf or sports clubs, and how they could be worth a great deal if released for property development.

Speakers include Peter Waller of DTZ Sherry FitzGerald; Timothy O’Rahilly, partner with Real Estate Group; Brendan Sheridan of the Pierse Group and David Renwick, head of Real Estate Finance-Ireland at AIB Corporate Banking.
