Currently the largest real estate developer operating in Portugal, Vanguard Properties was born in 2017 as a result of a partnership between a European family office led by the Franco-Swiss investor, Claude Berda, and José Cardoso Botelho, manager and investor with vast experience in the Portuguese real estate sector. This association resulted in a group defined by a solid financial situation and which enjoys a rare investment capacity and a profound knowledge of the local market and its players. The company's extensive experience in real estate development, combined with a quick and flexible decision-making process, are other factors that make it one of the most credible and dynamic organizations in its sector in Portugal. The group currently has 19 urban and tourism projects in its portfolio, spread across prime locations in Lisbon, Oeiras, the Algarve and Comporta.
