Solera Capital is an investment and development manager focused on prime residential real estate across Spain. We identify exceptional sites, structure the required capital and manage every stage of the development process in-house, from acquisition and planning to construction, delivery and sale.
Our goal is to create exceptional homes while generating attractive, risk-adjusted returns for our investors in Spain’s most desirable locations.
Partnering with International Capital
Solera partners with high network, family office and institutional investors to unlock the full potential of undervalued opportunities in prime locations across Spain, with a specialism in the Costa Del Sol area. Collectively our team has delivered more than €210m of residential projects across 90,000 sqm of living space, supported by raising €40m in equity and €100m in structured debt.
Unlocking Value
Leveraging our extensive industry knowledge and local network. combined with a multi-disciplined team spanning investment, finance, design, construction and sales, we source prime assets off-market, providing access to exclusive deal flow. In a market where quality homes and land are scarce, our expertise ensures that we maintain the highest standards of quality while navigating complex planning and development systems.
Active Risk Management
We manage capital with a disciplined, institutional approach, ensuring equity is deployed efficiently. We deliver value by sourcing off-market sites, negotiating attractive terms and enhancing assets through thoughtful design and development execution. By concentrating on luxury locations and high-spec projects, we create premium homes that drive superior returns. Our disciplined underwriting and local knowledge ensure we only invest where we see a clear, risk-adjusted upside. In particular, we are now shifting focus to projects with greater off-plan sales potential given these have a lower risk profile.
