Sheridan Keane

What Sheridan Keane does

Sheridan Keane is an independent, boutique commercial property investment and development advisory firm headquartered in Edinburgh with a second office in London. Founded in 2011 by Stewart Sheridan (originally as Sheridan Property Consultants) and rebranded in November 2021 to recognize co-leader Cathal Keane's contributions, the firm provides bespoke advice on the purchase, sale, financing, and development funding of commercial real estate across the UK and parts of Ireland, covering offices, retail, industrial, leisure, hotel, student accommodation, and build-to-rent sectors.

The firm operates from a lean, senior-led model — a team of five (Founding Director Stewart Sheridan, Directors Cathal Keane, Patrick Ford, Graeme Millar, and Office Manager June Homer) collectively responsible for delivering transaction outcomes. Service delivery is structured around three core offerings: Investment Sales & Acquisitions, Development & Funding (including forward funding and forward purchase), and Strategic Asset Management. Underlying technology is conventional (a CMS-driven website, email newsletter, and standard property listings with downloadable brochures); competitive differentiation derives entirely from human expertise, on-the-ground market relationships, and partner-led coverage rather than any proprietary platform.

Commercial economics are driven by transaction fees and professional services fees on mandates sourced primarily through institutional referrals and direct enterprise field sales. Pricing is bespoke and asset-specific (listed mandates range from £170,000 to £5.85 million as advertised on the firm website), with deal sizes scaling well into the nine-figure range, evidenced by the £133.25 million Aegon European Headquarters acquisition for Roebuck and Hyundai Asset Management and Stewart Sheridan's cumulative advised deal value of over £500 million. Customers are predominantly enterprise — institutional investors (insurance, asset management, REIM), private equity, and corporate owners/occupiers — with private high-net-worth investors as a secondary segment. The firm holds no external funding, operates as a privately held partnership-style business, and is a member of RICS.
