Luke and Brian Comer


Luke and Brian Comer are Irish billionaire property developers, the founders and owners of the Comer Group, a privately owned UK property development company.

Early life

The Comer brothers come from Glenamaddy, Co Galway, in Ireland.

Career

They left school in their teens to work as plasterers. They moved to London in 1984, working first as plasterers and then moving into property development. Since then their focus has shifted to Germany and then to Ireland in 2010, in their quest for value-for-money.
The brothers' notable projects include the conversion of the listed Friern Hospital to residential accommodation in the mid-1990s as Princess Park Manor.
The Comers invested more than €75 million in property purchases in Ireland, the UK, and Germany within just six months and reported plans to invest an additional €200 million in the 18 months to follow. In 2017, two farmers in Ireland filed suit against the brothers over land rights to five acres of grazing territory in north county Dublin.
In 2018, the Comers purchased Kilmartin House, a 111 acres piece of land in Dublin 15. The land will be used for a residential development. In May 2018 it was reported that the Beckett Building, which was purchased by the Comer Brothers in 2013 for roughly €5 million, was sold to Kookman Bank for €101 million.

Personal life

They are residents in Monaco for tax purposes. Luke Comer is a keen horse-breeder.
