Bridging Professional Capital with Dubai’s Prime Real Estate. For Family Offices and professional investors, the barrier to entering the Dubai market is not a lack of interest, it is a lack of trusted access. Large institutional funds are often too rigid and costly for mid-market opportunities, while retail platforms lack the necessary structure and due diligence. This is where I position my work. With over €300 million in executed transactions and two decades of experience redeveloping historic assets in Milan, Florence, and Rome, I bring European investment discipline to the high-growth UAE market. Today, my focus is exclusively on Private Debt and Real Estate Club Deals: structuring agile, single-asset investment vehicles (SPVs) that allow professional investors to deploy capital efficiently, deal-by-deal. The strategy is agile & direct. I do not manage a "blind pool" fund with high management fees. I operate as a Principal Co-Investor and Lead Sponsor. We target deals in the $5M – $15M range, the "sweet spot" often overlooked by giant funds but too large for retail investors. My framework is built on direct participation and total alignment: - Club Deal Structure: Investors participate via dedicated SPVs for each specific asset. You know exactly where your capital is going. This structure minimizes setup costs and maximizes net returns. - Principal Co-Investment (Skin in the Game): I invest my own capital alongside yours in every deal. My equity is often subordinated, ensuring your capital priority. We share the risk and the reward. - Secured & Tangible: Whether focusing on Private Lending (Debt) or Capital Appreciation (Equity), every euro is backed by tangible prime real estate assets. - Direct Execution: Based in Dubai for 6 years with a permanent local team, I personally oversee sourcing, negotiation, value-add strategy, and exit. No middlemen. My approach is rooted in 25 years of entrepreneurial execution. Starting from zero, I built and exited major companies in diverse sectors (including Radio Kiss Kiss and Grandi Scuole) before dedicating over 20 years to complex real estate redevelopment in Italy. I have now transferred this operational expertise entirely to the UAE to offer a professional, transparent gateway for investors ready to access the market effectively. → A verified track record is available in the Featured section & €300M+ Portfolio
