Chancerygate has opened an office in Dublin and appointed a development director for Ireland as the urban logistics property developer and asset manager continues its European expansion.
Ed Dobbs joins from property development and investment company Hammerson where he was most recently development director in its Dublin office.
In his new role, Ed will be responsible for driving Chancerygate’s expansion throughout Ireland and overseeing the developer’s proposed Airport Trade Park scheme.
Chancerygate acquired the five-acre site near to Dublin airport in partnership with specialist sustainable and impact investor Bridges Fund Management in 2022 for €4.5m.
Subject to planning, the partners will speculatively develop 114,000 sq ft of Grade A urban logistics and warehouse space across 14 units ranging from 3,500 sq ft to 20,675 sq ft.
Commenting on his new role, Ed said: “Ireland presents Chancerygate with a great opportunity thanks to its reputation and experience in delivering multi-unit Grade A urban logistics developments.
“Through strategic site acquisitions and developing high-quality accommodation, we can achieve our objective of establishing Chancerygate as the most prominent urban logistics developers in Ireland.”
Chancerygate also recently announced the opening of its Spanish office in Madrid and the hiring of Felipe Lainez from Mirastar Real Estate Investment as development director.
Chancerygate European director, Jason Sharman, commented: “Ed’s wealth of expertise and valuable knowledge of the Irish market means he is best placed to support Chancerygate’s expansion across Ireland.
“Launching our Dublin office shortly after the opening of our Madrid office is another statement of our intent to push our European growth plans.
“We have already secured our first site in Ireland and now look for further development opportunities to become an active player within the country’s urban logistics market.”
