Our History

The O’Flynn Group was founded as a residential development business in 1978 by brothers, Michael and John O’Flynn. Since then, the company has diversified into the commercial, retail, industrial and residential (including student accommodation, senior living accommodation and investment properties) sectors.

Today, we build new homes across Ireland, and develop and manage commercial and residential property in Ireland the UK, and Europe.

Our success and continued growth is the result of the pride we take in the quality of our work, and in the way we work. We protect and support this as a key foundation stone for all our activities, and for all our people – from our management team to the highly experienced and dedicated people working on our sites.

In 2017 O’Flynn Construction and O’Flynn Capital Partners merged under the O’Flynn Group brand.
