Salamisso Developments

Salamisso Developments operates as a commercial and residential property development company across Ireland and the UK, building upon a legacy of excellence established by Gilmer Properties. The firm is dedicated to crafting spaces that honor existing heritage while simultaneously embracing modern progress and innovation. With decades of experience, the company's work encompasses revitalized city districts and the creation of sustainable, contemporary communities, reflecting a commitment to thoughtful design, meticulous craftsmanship, and enduring quality. Salamisso Developments manages a portfolio that exceeds €400 million in Gross Development Value (GDV) across projects currently in various stages of planning or development, contributing to the formation of vibrant and sustainable communities.

The company is guided by a philosophy that integrates traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation in every project. This approach is rooted in timeless design, with a focus on creating developments that harmonise with their surrounding environments while providing contemporary living experiences. A core commitment to sustainable building practices ensures that projects are environmentally responsible and constructed for longevity. Salamisso Developments also emphasizes collaboration, working closely with a network of world-class architects, engineers, and consultants to deliver results across its portfolio.

Salamisso Developments' journey has expanded to include a diverse range of prestigious projects across multiple sectors. The firm develops quality, investment-grade properties and market-leading family homes, alongside luxury residential communities, community shopping centres, and cutting-edge healthcare facilities. Notable residential and mixed-use projects include the proposed 54 apartments and 13 detached luxury homes at Sandyford Road in Dublin, and the premier mixed-use scheme at Belgard Square, Tallaght, which features 199 residential units, retail space, and a medical centre, including 50 senior living units. In London, the Silverfield Court development is set to deliver 55 luxury apartments for the private rental sector along with commercial space. The company's portfolio also includes the transformation of historic city districts in Dublin, such as The Tramyard Exchange and Flag Alley, blending heritage with modern living. Furthermore, the firm has undertaken healthcare projects like the Shankhill Nursing Home and Ravensrock, which is being developed into a residential care facility.

While the company's portfolio is broad, Salamisso Developments is actively involved in the Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sector. The firm is currently advancing plans for a significant c. 400-bed student accommodation development at Pottery Lane in Newcastle. This project aims to transform an unused brownfield site within the wider Forth Yards regeneration area. The proposals for Pottery Lane are designed to deliver high-quality student accommodation, enhance the local cityscape, and make an early contribution to the long-term regeneration efforts of Forth Yards.

The firm's commitment extends to creating eco-conscious, efficient, and resilient developments that benefit both people and the planet. Sustainability is integrated into their approach through innovative design, advanced technology, and responsible resource management, aiming to deliver long-term environmental and economic value. This includes maximising the use of photovoltaic (PV) panels to fulfill up to 70% of hot water needs through renewable energy and designing units to achieve a minimum A2 BER rating for reduced energy consumption. The company also implements biodiverse landscaping strategies, incorporating native plant species and features like bird boxes and bat boxes to promote local ecosystems. Additionally, developments feature integrated bicycle shelters and charging points for e-bicycles and e-scooters to encourage sustainable transport. The Salamisso Developments team, described as the cornerstone of its success, blends decades of industry expertise with a passion for creating timeless designs. Key team members, such as Fiona Bready (FCCA), bring over 25 years of experience in the construction sector, contributing to financial governance and strategic business planning.
