Terra Development

About Us

About Us

“Terra” team has an established track-record of adding value in the Portuguese property market.

Through our founding partners, we have been present in Portugal for 30 years, developing, building and managing our extensive real estate portfolio.

Our strategy is to acquire pre-developed land in qualified locations after which we undertake a series of tasks to obtain building permits for the allotments. We have acquired deep expertise in this approach which generates healthy risk-adjusted returns, as plots with all necessary building permits are significantly more valuable than land without permit.

Our market insights, technical expertise and extensive network, including established relationships with local authorities in the Lisbon and Oporto areas, have been key to our success.
