Activate Capital was founded in 2015 to address the shortage of debt capital available for property development in the Irish market. Benefitting from strong financial backing from the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund ("ISIF") and KKR, to date we have committed more than €1.2bn across 62 sites with capacity to deliver over 15,000 homes. We take pride in this achievement.
We share many ambitions with our customers:
Rebuilding activity in the Irish housing sector.
Delivering high quality, affordable homes at scale.
Driving success through long-term partnerships.
Pursuing a model of sustainable development.
Activate Capital partners with established developers to provide senior debt of €10m+, to fund site acquisition and working capital. We reward ambition with a short approval process that ensures certainty of delivery and speed of execution for our customers.
We aim to be Ireland's leading scale development lender by partnering with proven developers. We achieve this through sector specialism, bespoke financing solutions and efficient execution.
