Ballymore Group is an Ireland-based international property development company.
Ballymore Group was founded in 1982 by Sean Mulryan, who is the chairman and the chief executive (CEO). Ballymore Group’s UK managing director is John Mulryan, who is a son of the company’s founder Sean Mulryan.
Ballymore are seen as one of the Irish property companies who managed to do well despite the recession. In 2016, their UK profits were recorded at €217m. It was reported in the Irish Independent that these were "exceptional gains" and had resulted in almost a threefold profit increase.
In 2016, the firm won Large Developer of the Year at the RESI Awards and also won Property Developer of the Year at the Evening Standard Awards.
Ballymore projects include Pan Peninsula, New Providence Wharf, Wardian London and Embassy Gardens, Nine Elms, which are all well known developments in London. Several of the developments have impressive features. Embassy Gardens Nine Elms saw a “world first” with a sky pool that was suspended 10-storeys high between two apartment blocks, allowing residents to swim between the buildings. The pool is designed to appear as though it floats in the air and uses 20cm-thick glass so that swimmers have uninterrupted views of London, including the London Eye and the Palace of Westminster. The 2,000-home complex is near Battersea Power Station and positioned alongside the new US Embassy. New Providence Wharf changed the skyline east of Canary Wharf. It also includes notable sports facilities such as an on-site athletics track, a boxing ring and swimming pool. Meanwhile, Wardian London features more than 100 different species of exotic plants and its own indoor and outdoor landscaping service.
Ballymore is also responsible for a multi-million pound Canning Town development called City Island. English soprano Laura Wright sang at the launch event in November 2016. The 12-acre island site will be home to the London Film School and the English National Ballet, with 1,000 new homes as well as shops and restaurants. The development has been inspired by Manhattan and is expected to become a cultural hub.
