Building Better

Our Strategy

Our Strategic Priorities

2022 marked five years since IPO, an opportune milestone to undertake an extensive review of our strategy. Shaped by our vision – that everyone should have the opportunity to access great-value, high quality homes in flourishing communities across Ireland – our mission, our values and our commitment to sustainability, we aimed to build on the successes of our existing strategic and sustainability priorities, while positioning ourselves optimally to create long-term value for stakeholders.

Each of our five strategic priorities is supported by action-oriented pillars, which in turn are underpinned by projects, many of which are already underway. We have identified KPIs to measure our performance.

Placing the customer first

We will be recognised as the leading provider of affordable, high-quality homes for all tenures, offering a best-in-class customer experience.

Valuing and developing our colleagues

We will be an employer of choice and the best place to work in our sector for diverse and high-calibre talent, with a safe and inclusive working environment and a culture built on teamwork and trust.

Driving operational excellence

We will plan, design and assemble high-quality products using best-in-class processes across the build lifecycle. Clear accountability will enable us to make operational choices rapidly and decisively, and to allocate resources as efficiently as possible.

Embracing innovation

We will be at the cutting edge of innovation in the homebuilding sector, allowing us to transition to a low-carbon economy with the bestvalue, circular construction.

Creating sustainable and thriving places

We will be known for developing great places for people to live, where communities and nature can flourish for the long term.

Our Business Model

As one of Ireland’s leading homebuilders, Glenveagh is focused on delivering high-quality homes in flourishing communities. We achieve quality and great accessibility to new homes by relentlessly innovating the way we plan, design and build.

We bring new ideas home.

Suburban

Our suburban business is focused on delivering affordable, high-quality homes in locations of choice at €450,000 or below. Our focus is in particular on affordable starter homes in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), the deepest demand segment of the Irish market, however the portfolio also has other potential sites nationally.

Urban

Urban product consists of apartments to be delivered to institutional investors primarily in Dublin and Cork but also on sites adjacent to significant rail transportation hubs.

Partnerships

A partnership typically involves the government, local authority or state agency contributing their land on a reduced cost or phased basis into a development agreement with Glenveagh.

Our Drivers of Success

Talented and dedicated individuals

Our talented and motivated employees have the expertise and dedication to deliver our commitment to expand access to home ownership and create flourishing communities.

A strategic landbank

Our strategic land bank allows the company to manage the supply of land available for future development, ensuring a steady supply in key locations. This stability in land supply can help the business plan for the long-term, as well as negotiate better deals with local authorities and other stakeholders.

Strong relationships

We are a recognised and trusted partner, with a track record of building deep relationships with our partners, communities, suppliers and customers.

A strong financial position

Financial capital fuels the achievement of our strategic priorities. We remain disciplined in our approach to the allocation of capital with the overriding objective of enhancing shareholder value.

A trusted brand

We have an established and trusted brand that is built on a customer-focused and high-quality approach. This helps us to differentiate the business, making it more likely that customers will choose us in future purchase decisions.

Sustainability

At Glenveagh, we strive to embed sustainability into our land use, our energy efficient homes, people development and helping communities thrive.

Market Overview

The Irish economy again delivered a stellar performance in 2022, achieving double digit GDP growth notwithstanding the emergence of higher energy prices and recessionary conditions across Europe in the second half of the year. Strong GDP growth in 2020, 2021 and 2022 marks Ireland out as one of very few economies delivering growth throughout that period.
