[15][16] In October 2012, following the effects of both the collapse of the Irish property bubble and the Great Recession, the High Court appointed liquidators to Treasury Holdings and 16 related companies.

[22][23][24] RGRE was soon involved in notable ventures with a combined worth of more than €1bn including restarting the planning phase of the mothballed 23-storey Aqua Vetro skyscraper adjoining Tara Street station in Dublin.

In October 2018, Ronan Group Real Estate and Colony Capital formed a joint venture to acquire a 4.6 acre site in the Dublin's north docklands for in excess of €180m, being held by the National Asset Management Agency.

[30] Following the commencement of construction on the site in 2019, Ronan Group twice sought planning permission from Dublin City Council to increase the height on the property from nine to eleven storeys, however this was rejected.
