15/01/08 International Partner Chosen to plan Ireland’s new deepwater Port at Bremore Bremore Ireland Port Ltd, the joint venture between Drogheda Port Company and Castle Market Holdings Limited, announces today that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a wholly owned subsidiary of Hutchison Port Holdings (“HPH”) to develop a Port Master Plan for the new €300 million deepwater port at Bremore in north County Dublin. The signing paves the way for the next phase in the development of the deepest port on the east coast of Ireland. Bremore Ireland Port hopes to be in a position to submit a full planning application in the next 12 months. The development of Bremore is a strategic response
to the impending deficit in port capacity not only at Drogheda Port
but also on the whole of the east coast of Ireland. The new deepwater
port Bremore Port will be designed and operated to meet
the highest environmental standards and with respect for the local
community. HPH is the world’s leading port investor, developer and operator with interests in a total of 292 berths in 46 ports, spanning 23 countries throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the Americas. |

Ireland’s new deep-water Port at Bremore to proceed REO’s business in Ireland is managed

04/04/07 Masterplanner Appointed For Battersea Power Station Site REO announces that Rafael Viñoly Architects PC (“Viñoly”) has been appointed masterplanner to the Battersea Power Station Site (“the Site”). The appointment follows a detailed selection process during which a shortlist of world renowned architects were asked to present approaches to working with Treasury Holdings and REO to replan the site. REO completed the purchase of the 38 acre site
in December 2006. In February the Company determined that the current
masterplan did not fully respond to contemporary market conditions,
nor did it optimise the site’s potential. Rafael Viñoly
has now been charged with developing a masterplan aimed at ensuring
that the site becomes an intrinsic, sustainable district of London,
in keeping with its immediate surroundings. |

Real Estate Opportunities Limited The Board of Real Estate Opportunities Limited (“REO”) is pleased to announce that Drogheda Port Company has selected a consortium led by Castle Market Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of REO, as preferred bidder as joint venture partner to codevelop a new deep-water port on Ireland’s east coast. As Europe's fastest growing economy, has seen its east coast ports grow freight volumes at 6.5% per annum over the last 15 years. This rapid growth has resulted in congestion and created a need for substantial additional capacity over the coming decade. Bremore Port will be the most modern, efficient and strategically located port operating on the island of Ireland. The project will be one of Ireland's largest and most vital infrastructure projects in the next few years. Bremore is located within the Greater Dublin
Area, just north of the town of Balbriggan, adjacent to the M1 Motorway
