IRELAND FOR OVER 80 YEARS. WE ARE ONE OF IRELAND‘S STEADFAST PROPERTY

Our business is based on integrity, trust and respect. Over the years, Hardwicke

DECADES OF DEVELOPMENT




WHEN HARDWICKE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1934, OUR BUSINESS FOCUS WAS ON THE
CONSOLIDATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE KAVANAGH FAMILY‘S PORTFOLIO OF RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTIES. BY THE MID 1950S WE HAD CREATED OVER ONE THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL UNITS.

By the late 1950s, we recognised the need for bespoke commercial office
accommodation and began seeking partnerships with public and private enterprises
both in the domestic market and worldwide. To date, we have successfully
developed more commercial real estate in Ireland than any other firm.

OUR
SERVICES



We believe in delivering exceptional results, which is why we offer a full
service to our clients through the key areas of asset management, investments,
capital projects, and tenant management.

Our expert team appreciates and understands the different requirements
of individual clients, which is why we draw on our extensive market intelligence
and latest market insights to inform how we approach each specific project.


 * ASSET MANAGEMENT
 * INVESTMENTS
 * CAPITAL PROJECTS
 * TENANT MANAGEMENT


ASSET MANAGEMENT

Our experienced property management team possesses an astute awareness of market
trends and fluctuations, giving strategic portfolio advice specific to each
asset. Effective portfolio management is an integral part of the team‘s
capabilities giving clients the peace of mind of controlled asset acquisitions
and astute strategies, which optimise the disposal value.

Assessing tenant profiles and securing major tenants for each development is
another function within the remit of the property management team. This allows
for developments to be occupied by top quality tenants for longer, resulting in
extended leases.




INVESTMENTS

Our expert property investment team focuses on prime locations for planning and
development opportunities, which meet the needs of our partners. Central to best
practice property investments are applications for appropriate levels of debt
funding. Our team has the skillset to ensure these are handled with due care and
diligence using the appropriate tax structures.




CAPITAL PROJECTS

Large-scale projects need hands-on management at all stages of the development
process. To ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget, our team
engages with blue chip local and international advisers. We make it a priority
to undertake an extensive risk analysis of all micro and macro-economic factors
together with a detailed financial analysis of each investment opportunity.




TENANT MANAGEMENT

We operate as the landlord and tenant liaison for all properties under our
management. We make a point of drawing up planned preventative maintenance
schedules including dilapidations negotiations and conditional survey reports to
address the likelihood of any future issues.

We handle all contractor procurement and management to ensure the project is
delivered on time by reputable third parties and to ensure the quality of the
build is never compromised. Energy and sustainability advice is always sought
prior to commencing any property development with health and safety compliance
strictly observed as a natural necessity.





PARTNERSHIPS



We are the preferred partner of choice for local and international clients for
many reasons. First and foremost, our wealth of experience and market
intelligence have proven to be compelling attributes sought by many of our
larger partners.



Together with our informed and proactive approach to site acquisition, planning,
development, and asset management, clients receive the assurance they need and
peace of mind of knowing they are partnered with a remarkable and highly
effective team.

DIRECTORS

Principal
Brian C. Owens



Principal
Maurice H. Tunney



Development Director
Stephen M. Kilroy





BRIAN C. OWENS  PRINCIPAL



Over the past 29 years with Hardwicke, Brian has either led or been a key member
of the executive team that has developed 27 projects totaling two million sq.ft.
of real estate for Hardwicke‘s own account. These projects comprise commercial
office, multi-family residential, retail and hotel real estate.

With the completion of the restructuring in 2014, Hardwicke set about rebuilding
it‘s business offering with the executive management team, led by Mr. Owens,
taking a significant shareholding in the group. With a modest balance sheet, the
Group has started to rebuild value through strategic partnerships in much the
same way as it evolved initially.

Following the systemic failure of Irish credit markets and collapse of the
economy in 2008, Brian restructured the Group‘s balance sheet which involved
disposing of the Group‘s entire asset portfolio and returning available capital
to shareholders without defaulting on any of the company‘s borrowing
obligations.

Brian's initial responsibility was the financial management of the joint venture
vehicle with the Irish Government which was charged with the urban regeneration
of Dublin‘s north docklands/IFSC. This IFSC is home to more than 500 companies
generating in excess of €2 billion annually in income and employing more than
35,000 people. Development of the IFSC took more than 10 years and during this
time Brian was invited to join the Board of Hardwicke as Chief Financial
Officer, a position that he held for ten years, before being appointed Chief
Executive in 2004.

On completion of his Business Degree at University College Dublin, Brian joined
Deloitte Haskins & Sells (now Deloitte) as a graduate trainee where he remained
for five years before joining Hardwicke, as Financial Controller. In addition,
Mr. Owens is a professionally qualified chartered accountant & chartered
surveyor with almost thirty years experience in the Irish real estate industry.




MAURICE H. TUNNEY  PRINCIPAL



Maurice Tunney is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ireland
having qualified in 1997, together with a Bachelor‘s Degree in Commerce and a
Masters degree in Business Studies from University College Dublin.

Maurice worked with KPMG until 1999 before making the move to Hardwicke,
Ireland‘s most successful privately owned property development firm as Financial
Controller. In 2003 he was appointed Group Company Secretary and in 2005 was
appointed Chief Investment Officer and Finance Director with responsibility for
overseeing the development and implementation of the Group‘s financial reporting
and taxation strategy.

Over the past 17 years, he has played an integral part in the completion of over
€800 million worth of capital transactions at each stage from sourcing,
evaluating, acquiring, development, investment and disposal. Strong day to day
financial reporting, budgeting, working capital management and financial,
operational and IT systems experience. Mr Tunney brings considerable business
experience to the Board.




MARK M. KAVANAGH  CHAIRMAN



Mark Kavanagh, Chairman of Hardwicke (having previously been Managing Director)
is a well known, experienced real estate developer and investor in Ireland

As Excutive Chairman of the company that developed Dublin‘s International
Financial Services Centre (IFSC), he was responsible for the development of more
than one million square feet of real estate.

Over the past forty years, Mark has been involved in the development of many of
the commercially successful office properties in Dublin, as well as buildings in
New York and Boston. He has served on the boards of both public and private
companies in Ireland, the United Kingdom and America, as well as educational and
charitable institutions.

In 1978, Mark joined Hardwicke as Managing Director following the death of his
father who had previously held that position. Shortly afterwards Ireland went
into recession, causing Mr. Kavanagh to look to the USA for real estate
opportunities. Following the successful acquisition and refurbishment of several
American real estate properties, Mark returned to Dublin to lead and coordinate
preparation of the tender to develop Dublin‘s north docklands in partnership
with the Irish Government, a tender he was successful in winning. The IFSC
remains the largest private commercial real estate undertaking in the history of
the state.

Born and educated in Ireland and England, Mark began his career at Jones Lang
LaSalle London before returning home to Dublin to start his own business
ventures.




STEPHEN M. KILROY  DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR



In late 2013, Stephen was invited to re-join Hardwicke as Development Director,
with responsibility for the ‘delivery of‘ development and refurbishment
projects.

Returning to Ireland in 1995, Stephen joined Hardwicke as a senior member of the
project management team delivering the twenty seven acre mixed development IFSC.
On completion of this project, Stephen left to establish his own development
advisory and project management business in 1999 and established itself as the
development/project manager of choice for large and/or complex residential and
hotel schemes the most notable of which was the ten year development of the
Carlton House.

Stephen began his career in the United States in the late 1980s with Clark
Construction Group, Maryland, USA where he was project manager responsible for
the delivery of a number of large commercial office developments in the
Washington DC metropolitan area, ranging in size from 100,000 sq.ft. up to
1,000,000 sq.ft. During his seven years with Clark, he gained invaluable
experience in the innovative management practices deployed by contractors to
deliver large, complex development projects in a challenging physical and
contractual environment.

Stephen graduated with Civil Engineering and Mathematics Degrees from Trinity
College Dublin and a MSc. in construction management from Pennsylvania State
University. He also holds an ACCA diploma in accounting and finance and is an
IPMA certified project manager.
