Garrett Kelleher is the founder of Shelbourne Development, a Dublin development and real estate firm and is the owner of the Irish football club St Patrick's Athletic FC. Kelleher is a former Chicago resident, who currently lives in Ireland. It has been reported that he will soon return to Chicago to oversee the latest developments and construction of the Chicago Spire, one of Shelbourne Development's key projects.Roeder, D. (2007 March 14). Spire developer looks ready to make a move. "Chicago Sun-Times". Retrieved March 15, 2007, from http://www.suntimes.com/business/roeder/295463,CST-FIN-roeder14.article]

Educated at [Belvedere College] , he first moved to the United States in 1978 to attend California University of Pennsylvania on a tennis scholarship. He moved back to Ireland to attended Trinity College Dublin from 1980 to 1983. Years later, he moved to Chicago and started a painting business that eventually had a crew of about 120 workers. He kept the business for about 10 years.

His first development was a remodel of a building at 1655 W. Cortland Street in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood.

Kelleher was a commercial painting contractor in Chicago in the 1990s.Susan Diesenhouse 20 May (2007), [http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-h6f2j23may20,0,2084343.story?coll=chi-business-hed Developer in new league] ] He used the money he made in Chicago to participate in real estate construction in Ireland and closed his Chicago business as his Irish interests claimed more of his time. In 1995 Kelleher left Chicago, to return to Ireland where he founded Shelbourne Development.

In June 2007 Kelleher appointed a new board of directors to St Patrick's Athletic FC, naming himself as Chairman. Having acquired the club earlier in 2007 he commented that “We have long-term ambitions for this football club which would establish it as a force in the European game." stpatsfc.com, 19 June (2007), [http://stpatsfc.com/news.php?id=1657] ]
