Property-firm Development Securities has completed a deal to grab the so-called 'Chrome Portfolio' from NAMA - the body tasked with flogging the assets of the state owned Irish banks.

The remainder of the portfolio includes several neighbourhood retail schemes "anchored" by Tesco convenience stores.
