Axis manages a portfolio of more than 30 properties, including the majority of PHP's Irish portfolio, it added. No financial details were disclosed.
“The acquisition gives the group a permanent presence on the ground, further strengthening its position in the country and relationship with the Health Service Executive, Ireland's national health service provider,” PHP said.
Axis also provides fit-out, property and facilities management services to the HSE and other businesses located across Ireland.
As part of the deal, PHP has signed a development pipeline agreement with a related company owned by the selling shareholders, which gives the group the option to acquire Axis's development pipeline over the next five years.
