About Winterbrook
Winterbrook is a family-owned Irish property company with more than four decades of experience delivering considered homes and enduring communities. Led by Conor Rhatigan, Anne-Marie Drohan and Kate Rhatigan, the business combines long-term perspective with professional governance, disciplined delivery and a strong commitment to thoughtful design.
Every scheme begins with its setting. We pair considered architecture with sustainable construction and generous landscaping to create homes that enhance their surroundings, and communities designed to hold their character, and their value, for decades.

Governance & structure
Family owned. Expertly delivered.
Winterbrook pairs the long-term thinking of a family business with the governance and discipline institutional partners expect. Every project is run through a defined operating structure with clear ownership at each stage of the development lifecycle.
Partner with usBoard & leadership
An active board chaired by Tommy Breen (ex DCC Energy plc CEO), with founder Francis Rhatigan (ex Ellier Developments co-CEO and Irish property industry veteran) and a professional leadership team led by Managing Director Conor Rhatigan. Formal investment criteria govern every acquisition.
Defined operating structure
Each of the five stages of our development lifecycle — from land acquisition through to aftercare — has a named director as owner, with delegated authority and clear accountability.
Institutional-grade discipline
Rigorous financial underwriting, downside modelling and contingency built into every appraisal. A perfect track record with capital partners, and reporting standards that give lenders, agencies and JV partners confidence.
Built to endure
Decision-making grounded in long-term thinking, not short-term pressure — a strong balance sheet, a trusted repeat supply chain, and a culture of honouring every commitment.
