The role of executive chairman is expected to involve identifying business opportunities, as well as being at the helm of all creative and design work.
According to Ballymore, this will encompass the overseeing of planning applications, and stretch right to the presenting of the end product.
"These changes reflect the primary challenge for the Ballymore Group - that of managing significant growth while maintaining operational and design excellence," said Mr Mulryan.
"The current demanding economic times bring with them enormous development opportunities globally for Ballymore and David's appointment allows me to concentrate on pursuing those opportunities around the world."
"David will be responsible for the profitable operation of the Group and for maximising return on investment," he added.
