The Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) advise that Activate Capital opened for business on 1 September 2015 and will become operational during the fourth quarter of 2015. As of today's date no capital has been drawn down, however, the company is currently in discussions with a number of developers on potential opportunities. As these discussions advance, the timeline for draw down and the number of houses which will be constructed will become clearer.
