Employing approximately 20 specialists across two strategic divisions, the company is this year launching the Maven Capital brand and expanding its portfolio into new, high-yield segments.

In Portugal’s dynamic and highly competitive real estate market, investment success increasingly depends on agile, secure, and integrated execution. Maven Investment Management is positioned to meet this need, standing out for the comprehensive solutions it offers to investors, developers, and property owners nationwide. By combining deep local expertise with rigorous, hands-on execution across every stage of the investment cycle, Maven provides clients with a seamless partner, ensuring that no project, regardless of scale, loses importance as the organisation grows.

Through its Development Division, the company focuses on major developers and institutional funds, coordinating large-scale urban regeneration and greenfield projects, overseeing project management, and providing technical and legal supervision from land acquisition through project delivery. At the same time, the Asset Management Division serves private clients with a focus on residential property, providing administrative and hospitality support—from obtaining a Tax ID (NIF), opening bank accounts, and assisting with mortgage applications to integrated management and monetisation of the property.

“This internal division is what allows us to keep the “Maven ecosystem” running at 100% capacity,” explains Yehonatan Gourvitch, the company’s founder. “If a major developer entrusts us with a 100-apartment project, our Development Division manages the entire construction process. Simultaneously, our sales team sells the units to international investors, and the Asset Management Division immediately takes over maintenance and yield generation for the new owners. The client finds everything they need in a single partner”, he states.

“Given the current maturity of the Portuguese market, a strategic approach to permitting and strict adherence to deadlines have become the most decisive factors in ensuring a project’s profitability.” — Miguel Albuquerque, Partner & Project Manager.

The value of experience and efficiency in permitting

With a solid 15-year presence in the Portuguese market, Maven has closely witnessed the sector’s transition to greater maturity. The arrival of architect and senior project manager Miguel Albuquerque two years ago strengthened the company’s capacity to handle large-scale projects; it now boasts a robust pipeline exceeding 500 residential units. A key differentiator for Maven is its specialised expertise in permitting strategy—an area that often presents significant challenges for those looking to invest in Portugal. Maven’s team devises efficient approaches for engaging with regulatory, urban planning, and environmental authorities, thereby mitigating risks and shortening time-to-market, thereby securing clear competitive advantages for its partners.

The company’s solid technical reputation has enabled it to extend its management expertise beyond traditional residential real estate. Today, Maven also acts as a strategic partner for major national and international companies, managing the development of high-yield alternative assets such as data centres and renewable energy projects.

In the housing and renovation segment, the company handles end-to-end construction management, municipal permitting, and integrated sales, reducing the number of intermediaries and optimising construction costs.

In the logistics and industrial sectors, the focus is on identifying strategic locations and designing modern logistics hubs that prioritise functionality and long-term operational performance. Finally, regarding technology-related assets, Maven provides advanced technical coordination for critical, highly complex infrastructure, enabling secure market entry with high technical barriers to entry. To support this nationwide growth, the company has also expanded its physical footprint by opening an office in the Algarve region.

Innovation and the Future: The Launch of Maven Capital

Determined to continue driving the brand’s growth, the company is taking its most ambitious step yet this year by launching Maven Capital.

While Maven Management has established itself as a platform of excellence in consulting and asset management services, Maven Capital is being launched as its dedicated investment platform. Through this new corporate arm, the company is also assuming the role of an independent real estate developer, moving forward with projects and construction under its own banner.

The establishment of Maven Capital reflects the company’s financial strength, accumulated market knowledge, and forward-looking vision. It also reinforces its commitment to helping clients navigate the Portuguese real estate market with total confidence, while creating sustainable value in every project it delivers.
