One of Northern Ireland’s leading commercial property consultants, O’Connor Kennedy Turtle (OKT) is celebrating their 20th year in business.
Established in 1993 by partners Tony O’Connor, Brian Kennedy and Brian Turtle, OKT is a specialist commercial property consultancy focusing on acquisition and disposal of retail units, industrial / warehousing space, offices / business space and land throughout the UK and Ireland, together with the complimentary services of asset management and professional services.
Uniquely, OKT is the only agency in the sector with both Belfast city centre and provincial offices, ensuring clients can benefit from hands–on experience and knowledge throughout Northern Ireland.
The company has also enjoyed remarkable stability during the past two decades with its founding partner team still at the helm and guiding the business going forward. OKT has grown significantly and now boasts a total of over 200 years of experience in commercial property consultancy.
OKT Partner Brian Turtle said: “We are very proud to meet the 20–year milestone at a time when the local economy is returning to growth. Commercial property is an important indicator of the economic performance of the region and we have seen a noticeable rise in transactional activity in most sectors especially in the business space and development land sectors. With an increasingly skilled workforce in technology, pharmacy and bio–medical sectors and with affordable occupational costs, we believe Northern Ireland is well–placed to attract sizeable investment.
“Overall, with the construction sector now out of recession and registering growth, we are confident that better times for the economy lie ahead.”

At this phase in the economic cycle, we are working alongside expanding local companies and also larger multinationals seeking to invest in the region. We are also attempting to advise on work–out solutions for distressed building projects which have been casualties of the ‘fall–out’ of the housing crisis.”
To help mark this major milestone in the development of the company, OKT are rolling out a stylish new website and branding update. Brian Kennedy said: “As a company we constantly look at innovative new ways to develop and broaden our service portfolio. As part of this renewal process we have added significantly to our senior team and are now rolling out a new website and branding design. We look forward to strengthening our position in the local market and supporting local firms as they seek to grow their businesses in the years ahead.”
