Comer Group

General information

Luke and Brian Comer were born in Glenamaddy, Co Galway in 1957 and 1960 respectively. They were two of eight children in their family. They embarked on their journey into the construction industry in Ireland in the 1970’s when they completed apprenticeships in plastering. Their determination, hard work and exceptional skills ensured that they progressed rapidly in their employment. They used these skills along with the wealth of practical “hands-on” construction experience to establish their own plastering business and rapidly developed a countrywide reputation for their high quality plastering. This resulted in the Comers being awarded major contract work on many of Ireland’s largest construction projects in both the public and private sectors. They moved to London in 1984 and entered the UK market where they have been extremely active ever since whilst expanding to Ireland and Europe. Following a great deal of tenacity and hard work, they have created a leading property group with substantial development and investment interests in a number of market sectors, including: luxury residential homes, office, retail, hotels, leisure, retirement homes, equestrian property and farm land. The Group has acquired numerous assets and after gaining planning permission have used their established construction team to develop them. The Group is involved directly from pre-planning all the way through to sales and property management. Luke and Brian have been instrumental in recruiting and shaping a highly skilled and valuable senior management team of designers, architects and construction professionals. The corporate ethos nurtures and encourages both creativity and innovation, which are hallmarks of the Comer brand. The success of the Comer Group in the UK undoubtedly speaks for itself and high quality developments such as Princess Park Manor, Royal Connaught Park and Bradstowe House are a testament to the high standards and work ethic of the brothers. Luke and Brian continue to keep an active role in the development process as well as the day to day running of the organisation. With a substantial land bank and extensive development programme, The Comer Group is continuing its major expansion in a number of property development sectors.
