Hibernia Real Estate Group Ltd, formerly called Hibernia REIT plc when it was a public real estate investment trust, [5] is a real estate development firm headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. The company owns 32 properties in Dublin, and has a portfolio valued at €1.309 billion. [6] [7]
On June 17, 2022, the Hibernia REIT was acquired by Brookfield Asset Management. [1] The company had previously been listed on Euronext Dublin's ISEQ 20 index, as well as the London Stock Exchange. [8] [9]
Hibernia was founded by Kevin Nowlan and his father Bill. [2] It was floated on the stock markets in December 2013. It raised €385 million in its IPO, €220 million of which it had invested by September 2014. [10]
The company met criticism when, in April 2015, it demolished the Windmill Lane studio where U2 had recorded their debut album, Boy. [11] The iconic graffiti wall was preserved and auctioned to raise funds for Movember. [12]
Kevin Nolan joined the company as CEO in November 2015, from WK Nolan REIT. [13]
In 2017, Hibernia worked with Twitter to repurpose the offices at Cumberland Place, Dublin 2. The finished space was awarded a LEED Platinum award. [14]
In June 2022, Hibernia was taken over by Brookfield Asset Management, a Canadian investment management firm. [1] Brookfield had offered investors €1.60 per share as well as a 3.4c dividend in March; this valued Hibernia at around €1.1 billion, 36% above the share price at the time. [15] [16] Hibernia's board, accounting for 1.37% of the company's shares, recommended the offer unanimously. [16] One of the firms largest shareholders, Hazelview Investments, sold its 4.55% stake in April. [17] After the takeover, Tom Edwards-Moss, the company's CFO since June 2014, was appointed the new chief executive and outgoing CEO Kevin Nowlan was made an executive director. [1] [18] The company changed its name to Hibernia Real Estate Group in August 2022, reflecting the fact it was no longer a real estate investment trust. [5]
Hibernia won a Silver EPRA Best Practices Recommendations Award for financial reporting in 2015 and a Gold in 2016 , 2017 and 2018. [19] [20] [21] [22]
It also won a Bronze EPRA Best Practices Recommendations for sustainability in 2016, a Silver in 2017 and a Gold in 2018. [23] [24] [25]
