01 · Core business

Land Development & Investment

Our core business.

Development land in Sintra

What we do

We identify raw or underdeveloped land, design a concept, manage the planning and licensing process, and bring the approved development opportunity to market.

How it works

  1. 01Identify promising land
  2. 02Analyse feasibility and potential
  3. 03Acquire or secure the plot
  4. 04Develop the concept and planning strategy
  5. 05Obtain licences and approvals
  6. 06Sell the approved project to a developer

Who it helps

Landowners with plots that have potential, developers looking for approved projects, and investment partners who want to participate alongside us.

The value

Land that was overlooked becomes a licensed, de-risked opportunity a developer can build on. We focus on Greater Lisbon: Cascais, Sintra, Oeiras and Lisbon.

Investment model

We invest alongside our partners.

We typically commit 5–10% of the project equity from our own capital. Every project matters to us because our own money is at work too.

Subject to eligibility, documentation and applicable regulation. No promised returns, approvals or timelines.
