History

Starting in 2007 with a vision in establishing one of the most worldwide hospitality brands in Portugal with Palminvest SA, has grown into a hotel real estate and management powerhouse, recognized as one of the most reliable hotel companies in Portugal, winning awards both in construction and hotel management in Portugal and abroad.

In our first decade, we principally focused on hotels, but in 2016 we turned our focus toward residential as we believed it to be a growing and undervalued corner of the real estate sector mainly in Lisbon.

Stakecorp Group then purchased two relevant urban rehabilitation in Lisbon. A €50M investment in city center, next to Saldanha main square – Casal Ribeiro and Janelas Verdes.

Next, in 2017, we expanded into the Food market, gaining a significant foothold with the signing of SushiShop master franchise for Portugal, the most relevant Sushi company in the world for take-away and delivery.

More recently, we have refocused our efforts on M&A operations where we are currently studying several real estate sectors in the country.

Our disciplined approach to investing has consistently generated outsized gains relative to risk through several real estate cycles. With our proven track record of successful transactions and a dedicated growth strategy, we know that we have an approach that works.
