Bannon

What Bannon does

Bannon is Ireland's leading indigenous commercial property consultancy, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Dublin at Hambleden House, Pembroke Street Lower. The firm provides a comprehensive suite of property services — sales and lettings, property management, retail agency, professional services (valuations, Part V submissions, expert witness work), development land advisory, and strategic consultancy — to property investors, retail occupiers, office occupiers, property owners, developers, landowners, and lenders. Bannon operates as Bannon Commercial Property Consultants Limited, a privately held Irish limited company (Registered Number 384639) with PSRA Licence No. 001830.

The firm differentiates on the basis of an unusually large managed-asset footprint for an Irish independent: Bannon reports active leasing or management of more than 60 retail assets, involvement in over 50% of Republic of Ireland shopping centre stock, and leasing agent roles on four of the five major M50 retail schemes. Over 20 years the firm has intermediated more than €2.5 billion in top-10 investment transactions and has introduced multiple international brands (Zara, H&M, Hollister, Mango, Harvey Nichols, Hugo Boss, Lush, Pret A Manger, and others) to the Irish market. The product surface is augmented by proprietary market intelligence publications — monthly Retail Pulse, quarterly Office Pulse, and quarterly Investment Pulse — and a client-facing PRO (Property Reporting Online) portal. No proprietary technology platform underpins the offering beyond the PRO portal and standard productivity tools.

The business operates a sales-led, B2B professional services model on a fee basis (transaction commissions, management fees, consultancy engagements). Go-to-market is built on direct enterprise relationships with institutional landlords, international retail brands, and capital sources, supplemented by industry events (notably the long-running Bannon Great Ireland Lunch at MIPIM, now in its 20th year), thought-leadership content, and PR. Distribution is single-country/domestic (Ireland), with no international office footprint. Executive Chairman Neil Bannon and Managing Director Paul Doyle lead the firm, supported by a senior team spanning Property Management, Investment, Professional Services/Land, Consultancy, and Retail Leasing.
