We are a specialized team identifying, structuring, and managing real estate assets in emerging markets for private capital. We control the process from start to finish.
Palmara was created to solve a specific problem: most private investors have access to information about emerging markets but lack the mechanisms to operate in them with security and control.
Investment platforms list opportunities but do not execute. Local developers build but do not structure capital. Brokers connect but do not accompany.
Palmara does all three. We identify, structure, develop, and operate. The investor gains access to international markets backed by an operator that also has capital in the project.
Palmara was born from direct experience in the Dominican Republic real estate market, where the founding team identified a clear asymmetry: assets in markets such as Las Terrenas or Punta Cana offer significantly higher returns than mature European markets, but the lack of a local operator with structuring capabilities — combined with investor hesitation — means that most private capital never reaches these opportunities.
The response was to build a company that combines local access, financial structuring and asset control. Not a platform that lists projects. An operator that executes them.
Since then, Palmara has completed its first in-house projects in Las Terrenas and Punta Cana, and expanded its scope to the United Arab Emirates, Miami, and Paraguay.
"Private capital needs an operator who is embedded in the project—not one who sells it and disappears."Fernando Nogueras — Founder, Palmara Group
Palmara is not an anonymous fund. Every project has a responsible person with a name, surname, and personal capital invested in the asset. That changes the relationship with the investor.
Palmara does not monetize only at entry. We capture margin at every stage of the cycle. This aligns our incentives with those of the investor throughout the entire lifecycle of the project.
We don’t list markets analyzed from Madrid. We have teams, active projects, and relationships with local developers in every market where we operate.
Palmara operates as a single economic system. The three lines are not separate companies: they are phases of the same cycle, designed so that every euro invested captures value at more than one point.
We identify opportunities, design the appropriate investment vehicle, and structure access for private capital. The layer that connects investors with real projects under professional criteria.
We develop and commercialize residential projects in emerging markets, with direct control over the process: from land acquisition to key handover.
We operate assets once delivered: short- and long-term rental management, maintenance, occupancy, and income distribution. This turns the asset into recurring cash flow.
A 20-minute conversation with our team. No pressure. No generic forms. We explain in detail which projects are active, how they are structured, and what returns are reasonable to expect.
