A New Investment Horizon for Spain
A&G Global Investors has unveiled ambitious plans that could significantly impact Spain’s real estate market in the coming years. The company aims to mobilize over 800 million euros to launch a range of projects in the sector. The investment program is planned for the next five years, running through 2030. This strategic initiative was presented by Jaime Trigo, who has headed the company’s real estate investment division since 2014.
The landmark announcement was made during the first annual Real Estate Forum organized by A&G. The event attracted major attention and brought together more than 250 leading figures from Spain’s real estate industry under one roof. Among those present were both private and institutional investors, representatives of top banks, developers, operators, consultants, and even officials from government agencies. Such a high-profile gathering underscored the event’s stature and the significance of the discussed plans for the entire sector.
Strategic Priorities: From Affordable Housing to Eco-Tourism
During their presentation, A&G representatives shared their perspective on the current state of the market and discussed new strategies in detail. One of the company’s top priorities will be attracting additional funding from institutional co-investors. Additionally, A&G plans to establish close partnerships with leading developers in the country to maximize the effectiveness of new investment mechanisms and achieve synergistic results.
Special attention was given to the mandate received from the European Investment Bank (EIB) for €130 million. This funding has a clearly defined purpose: to support socially significant projects that are especially in demand in Spain today. The primary focus is on building affordable housing for broad segments of the population. Another key area is urban regeneration, aimed at breathing new life into outdated neighborhoods. Finally, part of the funding will be invested in the development of sustainable tourism projects that minimize environmental impact.
Emphasis on modern living formats
Another key topic of discussion was the company’s specialized fund focused on the ‘living’ sector, with a capital of 150 million euros. These investments will be directed towards developing assets for so-called flexible living. This term refers to new residential formats that accommodate the evolving needs of modern society, including co-living projects, serviced apartments, and other innovative concepts that are seeing growing structural demand as lifestyles and work patterns change.
Market leaders’ perspectives: innovation and collaboration
Other industry authorities also shared their views at the forum. Marco Colomer, president of Pryconsa, offered his analysis of the current market challenges. In his view, the industry is entering a new phase where success will depend not only on construction volume, but also on the highest product quality, innovation in housing, and absolute financial resilience. He emphasized that in today’s environment, close and effective collaboration between management companies like A&G and property developers themselves is becoming critically important.
This idea was expanded upon by Jaime González, Executive President of Grupo Arpada. He stated that his company is making a decisive commitment to the complete digitalization of all construction processes. According to him, this is the only way to achieve maximum efficiency and competitiveness. González emphasized that such a technological transformation is impossible without highly qualified managers, who are able to integrate into a unified information environment and collaborate from the very beginning of the project, starting from the investment and design phases.
