«We have a 10 year plan for Lisbon. We already bought 5 assets in the capital, in a 200 million euro gross investment. In the coming months we will announce new projects and deliver 500 apartments within the next 4 years», explains Neewman Leech, GMG Real Estate’s CEO.
Besides this project, the partnership has 4 other projects, in areas such as Marvila, Expo and the centre of Lisbon.

The Algarve is a possibility.
The office sector is also in the company’s sights for one of the following stages, in particular in Lisbon, «where there is a great scarcity».
