Dentons held its first Ireland Real Estate Market Predictions Event on the 28 January 2021 where a panel of industry experts gathered virtually to share their views. Justin Bickle, Thomas Dowd, Claire Solon and Andy Tallon joined Dentons' Tom Dalton and Andrew Muckian to debate what lies ahead for 2021.

The general view of our panellists and our audience was that 2021 would be a year of two halves and the stage is set for a strong return of investment in the latter part of 2021. The predictions that emerged from the discussion were that, while there will continue to be difficulties, in the latter half of the year we should see a strengthening of the market, growing confidence and strong appetite from both international and domestic investors to deploy capital in Ireland.

Reflecting on the panel discussion, audience polls and our own extensive transactional experience, the three key trends emerging for 2021 are resilience, re-imagining and responsibility.
