Emerald Investment is a London-based private family office founded by Alan McIntosh. McIntosh also co-founded Irish housebuilder Cairn Homes and led its IPO in 2015; Cairn Homes is listed on the Irish and London stock exchanges. The team is based in London and Dublin. The firm invests across public and private markets, with interests spanning real estate and hotels and leisure, alongside healthcare, biotechnology and education. Its investment footprint covers Europe, North America and Asia, and its strategy is not confined to a single sector or geography. Its proprietary capital base supports a flexible approach that is not constrained by conventional limited-partner structures. Its real estate experience includes a partnership with Windward Management to acquire the Hilton Dublin Airport Hotel, adding to its hotel portfolio. For real estate sponsors, Emerald offers a flexible family-office capital source, with the principals contributing a significant share of the funds involved in each investment and the firm also working alongside family-office and institutional partners.
