Social housing expected to attract considerable private investment

There is likely to be “considerable investment” in Irish social housing from private interests – both domestic and international – in the coming years, according to CBRE Ireland.

In a new report, published on Monday, the real estate group said there had been “increased demand” over the past six months, with investors “keen to acquire residential units and schemes let to local authorities on long-term leases”.

This is in line with trends elsewhere in Europe and the UK, where the investment market for public housing is well established, and institutional capital, pension funds, private equity and other specialist investors regularly invest in public housing provision.
