Strategy
& thesis

Capital deployed with conviction, into buildings we will own for a decade.

We commit equity and structured capital to residential, mixed-use, and select hospitality buildings across the principal cities of Spain and Italy. We work where we have an operational edge — where the building, the street, and the cycle reward patience and attention rather than haste.

02 / Thesis

Where we believe the work will be worth doing over the next decade.

Southern Europe is undersupplied of well-built, well-managed residential and mixed-use stock. The opportunity is to acquire, restore, and operate that supply — with patience.

Spain and Italy share two structural advantages: limited new construction in their best urban submarkets, and a deep stock of buildings worth restoring rather than replacing. The second is what most institutional capital cannot easily address.

Our edge is at the intersection of investment and development. We can underwrite a complex restoration with construction-cost confidence, and we can operate the asset to a residual standard once it is delivered. Many of our peers can do one or the other; few do both, in both countries, at our scale.

We expect the next decade to reward operators who buy carefully, build patiently, and hold long enough for cycles to do their work.

03 / Strategies

Three strategies, one underwriting standard.

Strategy 01

Stabilised residential

Stabilised apartment buildings in prime urban submarkets. Income in place, with a defined programme of selective capital improvement and considered tenancy work over a long horizon.

ApproachStabilised hold, selective capex
HorizonLong, conditional on the building
SizeDiscussed privately
Strategy 02

Operational restoration

Historic and under-managed buildings brought back through a comprehensive restoration — structural, mechanical, and architectural — followed by a stabilised hold or, when the building is ready, a considered sale to the right next owner.

ApproachOperational and capital-improvement programme
HorizonHeld until the work is done
SizeDiscussed privately
Strategy 03

New construction on conviction sites

Ground-up residential and mixed-use development on conviction sites we either control or have priced into a partnership. Built to a long-hold standard, even when sold.

ApproachGround-up on conviction sites
HorizonBuilt for the next quarter of a century

05 / Process

From sourcing to closing — usually 90 days, never less than rigorous.

Stage 01 / Day 0–14

Origination

Off-market sourcing through our local networks. First-pass underwriting and a clear investment memo within ten working days.

Stage 02 / Day 14–35

Diligence

Technical, legal, environmental, and tenancy review. Construction cost validation by our in-house development team.

Stage 03 / Day 35–70

Committee & structuring

Investment committee approval. Capital structure finalised with co-investors. Final pricing committed.

Stage 04 / Day 70–90

Closing

Notarial signing in Madrid or Milan. Asset onboarded to our management platform on day one.

06 / Partners

We are open
to disciplined
partners.

We co-invest with family offices, sovereign capital, institutional real estate platforms, and high-conviction private investors. Our partners share a long horizon and an aversion to forced selling.

We are equally available to act as the operating partner on transactions originated by others — particularly in markets where local execution is the binding constraint.
