WHAT WE DO
We search, evaluate, conceptualise and buy large development opportunities (especially second homes and hotels) from Portofino to St Tropez (and the inland Area).
HOW WE DO IT
We count on 25 years of experience in real estate second home development in the Area and on a skilful team of specialists who are experienced to sort out planning permission issues (extremely important in Italy) with the objective to create added value on the projects we deal with. Our priorities are to maximise return on equity and/or adding value to real estate assets owned by our Clients (normally by creating an angle of international excellence in our Projects)
WHY WE DO IT
The Italian real estate market is complicated and challenging, especially at the level of timing and local authorities issues. In this market it is essential to rely on a deep understanding of the market and the local authorities planning permission issues. By focusing on a limited geographical Area, we complete well-informed feasibility studies that lead to the appropriate work at the conceptualisation phases of projects.
WHY NOW
Today there is a combination of factors that now make this Area exceptionally interesting to the objective of creating value on large real estate touristic projects:
1. Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan is creating unparalleled opportunities at national and regional levels.
2. The articulated plan of Treni Italia to move the train line from the seaside to the inland is creating new opportunities from a touristic/real estate point of view in the Area.
3. We are experiencing a total generational change in the ranks of the local authorities that together with new regional laws, are creating exceptional flexibility never seen before in the Area.
WHO WE SERVE
Multi-families offices, private family offices, building companies with development opportunities in the Areas and/or in our field of expertise (second homes / hotels). In this context we focus on large and complicated projects in the Area that require articulated solutions both under planning as well as commercial/conceptualisation angles.
WHERE WE SEARCH
& FIND
We search and find valuable assets in the Area through bank portfolios, non-performing loans, public and/or semi-public portfolios, bankruptcy procedures etc.
HOW WE STRUCTURE
OUR FEES
Initial consulting and/or management fee plus performance fee on setting up/success on the development project.
“The only source of knowledge is experience.”

Some consider the Italian development market complicated and challenging, and it tends to be true.
This is mainly due to the inefficiency and lack of transparency of the Italian system as such, which makes it essential to rely on a deep understanding of the market and the local authorities planning permission issues.
Here the challenge becomes the opportunity.
In this context, it is important to be able to focus on a limited geographical Area, to achieve well informed feasibility studies that can lead to appropriate work at the conceptualisation phases of projects.
This allows to overtake the main challenge in Italy real estate development: to create value within a reasonable amount of time that would allow adequate return on the money invested.
For foreign investors and Italian investors alike, this is an objective that shall be obtained with an effective work at the local level on an adequate conceptualisation of the real estate opportunity under both the planning permission level as well as commercial level, creating the maximum achievable value.
For the past 25 years we have been contributing to development opportunities in the Area by creating value in real estate second home local projects from Portofino to St Tropez.
