Portugal is experiencing an historic moment of sweeping economic recovery. A constellation of global and domestic drivers have created a flourishing real estate market. An unprecedented influx of tourism enjoys the country’s 222 sunny days a year. In 2018, homes sold in Portugal increased by 20% while investment in rental properties reached a record high of 3.5B €, a 54% increase over 2017.
Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been the primary benefactor of this changing paradigm. Property prices increased by 15.6% in 2018, compared to 6.1% for Portugal as a whole with short term rental yields ranging between 8-12%.

By investing with Gaia Capital, you will be entering the Portuguese property market in the most optimal manner possible, benefiting from our experience and diligence. Because of how we’ve structured the project, you will immediately enjoy tremendous savings on the Portuguese property transfer tax (IMT). By bifurcating the project into two contracts, the tax is levied only on the land purchase and not the construction which is considered a service. Whereas you would pay 8% IMT (64k ) for a completed house, you will only pay 24k when you purchase pre-construction, saving you 40k before you even start the construction. Final construction costs can vary based on additions and finish selections

SEA & RIVER VISTA
It was on my third Portugal trip to visit shoe factories that I began exploring the local property market. Over the last 15 years, I’d made a number of successful investments in Brooklyn and Tokyo, grossing over $1.2M (53.5%) in profits. Armed with the confidence from these investments, I began some due diligence and uncovered an opportunity in Gaia driven by an amalgam of favorable circumstances. Eventually I decided on a piece of land and began working closely with the developer, Sérgio Faria, to build my dream villa from the ground up. I realized that the model I'd created for my investment in the market was of a moment in time and that it would become useless once the moment passed. Upon finding that the penetration of American investment was virtually nil compared to British, French and other European levels, I realized that I was a first mover and decided to activate my research to help others benefit from the booming market. With a grand vision for the future of Gaia and a shared purpose and value set, Sérgio and I formed Gaia Capital.
Born and raised in Gaia, it was an obvious area to focus on when I began my career in real estate. From a family of builders and industrialists, my father entered Gaia politics fifteen years ago, opening the door for a variety of uncommon development projects. It’s from my upbringing in Gaia and these deep-seated relationships that I have been able to access the best lands for development, often not even available for sale. I have constructed over 60 luxury homes and buildings and have traded over 25M €. This year, we have 9 luxury villas designed for construction, which are 80% sold, including Victor’s, representing 4.6M €. As Victor and I began working together, I felt as though I wasn’t simply meeting a final client, but a business partner. I knew that by bringing American investment to Portugal, it would augment my buying power and become the means to maximize my capabilities in the market to generate even more extraordinary returns for investors.
