Ronan is a Partner in the Commercial Real Estate team and heads up our Student Accommodation practice. Active across mainstream and alternative sectors, such as offices, industrial, student accommodation and build to rent, he leads multi-disciplinary teams acting for funds (institutional and private equity, domestic and offshore) and developers in relation to investment acquisitions and disposals, developments and financings.
He has particular expertise in high value investment transactions (including large portfolios and income strips) and complex development related projects such as forward fundings and forward commitments, as well as in the unique and thriving student accommodation sector. This stemmed his later interest in the wider living sector, where he has become an experienced advisor in the build to rent, later living, hotel and student accommodation sectors.
Having been with Forsters since 1998, Ronan has developed a deep understanding of the practice areas in our business and collaborates daily with colleagues from Construction, Corporate, Tax and Planning, alongside other teams in the firm. Paired with his pragmatic, commercial and technically astute advice, Ronan is able to guide his long-standing clients along every step of the way and acts as an extension of their own team.
