The real estate group Cat Real Estate has reached 800 million euros of assets under management, as explained by its president and founder, Nacho Castella.
The company, which has just celebrated its 20th anniversary, has specialized in managing the investments of Catalan family offices, which "are looking for safe and long-term investments", as well as several British funds that also want to be present in the Barcelona market, and plans to close the year with an investment of 18 million euros, 20% more than in 2022.
“In 2018 the political situation caused some tension, but the evolution of the city has been very brilliant and there is a lot of international interest in investing in Barcelona,” said Castella, who is associated with the British group Ifield Properties, as well as New York financial advisors. .
Cat Real Estate manages a portfolio of more than 300 commercial premises, most of them in Barcelona, as well as investments in proptech: it has created an incubator of technology companies focused on the real estate sector
One of the companies promoted by society, YourHoming Apartments, specialized in the rental of tourist and seasonal apartments, was acquired in 2022 by Gesiuris Real Estate. The firm is now promoting Rentando, which digitizes the tasks of property management, and MeLibero, an online real estate agency that allows the owner to sell their apartment without intermediaries. “We offer entrepreneurs all our real estate experience, so that their companies can be profitable from day one,” she says.
