"The building feels like it was designed by someone who actually lives in luxury apartments, not someone who photographs them."
Aoife Hennessy — Resident, Port Vivien Collection"We viewed fourteen premium properties across Dublin and Galway before discovering Ultra Luxury Flats. Within a fortnight, we understood why nothing else compared."
The Brennans sought a penthouse with uncompromised privacy, integrated concierge infrastructure, and proximity to coastal walking routes. After a structured evaluation of 14 shortlisted properties, they chose a three-bedroom residence in our Port Vivien collection.
Six months later, their energy costs dropped by 41% compared to their previous Kensington flat, and they reported using the private residents' terrace an average of five evenings per week.
Every apartment we offer carries a story of transformation. Below, we present verified case narratives from residents who made the move — and the measurable differences they experienced.
Dermot Gallagher, a retired pharmaceutical executive, owned a detached five-bedroom home in Howth. After his children moved abroad, the property became a maintenance burden — annual upkeep exceeded €38,000, and the house sat largely unused.
His requirements were specific: ground-floor accessibility for future-proofing, a chef-grade kitchen, secure parking for two vehicles, and a building with fewer than 20 units to preserve quiet.
We matched Dermot with a ground-floor corner unit in our Washington Crescent development. The apartment features a Gaggenau-equipped kitchen, underfloor heating throughout, and a private garden terrace measuring 45 square metres.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Annual maintenance cost | €38,200 | €6,400 |
| Monthly energy spend | €410 | €145 |
| Time spent on property admin | ~9 hrs/week | <1 hr/week |
| Guest accommodation capacity | 4 bedrooms | 1 guest suite + concierge hotel booking |
| Resident satisfaction (self-reported) | 5/10 | 9/10 |

How our process differs from conventional property agencies
Before showing a single property, we conduct a 45-minute structured conversation covering lifestyle patterns, accessibility needs, entertaining frequency, noise sensitivity, natural light preferences, and long-term plans. This is not a sales call — it is a diagnostic exercise.
We never overwhelm. Based on the assessment, we present no more than three residences. Each comes with a detailed brief: floor plans, orientation analysis, acoustic ratings, historical energy data, and neighbourhood profiles written by local residents.
No group viewings. No time pressure. Each viewing is scheduled for a minimum of 90 minutes, and you are welcome to return at different times of day to assess light and noise conditions.
Before commitment, we provide a complete cost-of-living projection: service charges, insurance estimates, utility forecasts, and a comparison with your current property expenses. No hidden figures surface after signing.
Our transition team coordinates removals, utility transfers, address changes, and introduces you to building staff, local services, and fellow residents. The first 30 days include a dedicated concierge contact for any settling-in needs.
How a structured relocation process eliminated the stress of cross-border moving
The Lindqvist-Murphy family faced a common dilemma for returning Irish professionals: finding a residence that met Swiss standards of build quality while being within walking distance of suitable schools and green space.
Their Zürich apartment had featured triple-glazed windows, a building-wide air filtration system, and soundproofing rated to SIA 181 standards. They assumed nothing in Ireland would match.
We identified a four-bedroom duplex in our Franey Overpass development, built to Passive House certification standards. The acoustic separation between units exceeds 58 dB — comparable to their Swiss residence. A dedicated children's play area within the building grounds, plus a direct pedestrian route to two Educate Together schools, resolved their remaining concerns.
The family moved in August 2023. Their eldest child started school the following Monday. The concierge team had pre-arranged school transport, a local GP registration, and introductions to three neighbouring families with children of similar ages.

We do not advertise on property portals. We do not conduct open viewings. We do not work with volume. Each quarter, we accept a limited number of new resident enquiries — typically no more than twelve — to ensure every family receives the depth of attention these decisions deserve.
If you value thoroughness over speed, and substance over spectacle, we may be the right fit.
