Deals and numbers, in short videos.
How we read a listing, price a project and spot the risks.
FIELD NOTES
Development and investing, from real projects.
How we price, model and unblock real properties in Portugal.
Property resolution
A real offer changes the conversation
Many stuck family homes are not missing a buyer. They are missing an agreement.
Development finance
Model the money, not just the project
A development plan can look profitable and still run out of cash.
Property resolution
A share too small to call about
Many inherited homes sit empty without a feud. Each share is too small to start the conversation.
Development
Price the entry ticket, not the square metre
Buyers don't compare prices per metre. They compare what the bank will lend.
PARTNERSHIPS
Looking for a partner, not a service?
Owners, operators and capital partners have their own paths into our projects.
QUESTIONS
Before you ask.
Is the deal check really free?
Yes. It is how we meet investors. If the numbers work and you want to go further, the 60-minute consultation is the next step, and its fee is credited toward a feasibility study.
Is this investment advice?
No. We share numbers, assumptions and the risks we see. Decisions, and legal and tax advice, stay with you and your own advisers.
Can I invest in Arena?
Arena’s financial terms are shared only with qualified capital partners, on request. Start on the capital partners page or with a 20-minute intro.
Where do you work, and in which languages?
In Portugal, mostly the Lisbon area, and remotely with investors in Israel and elsewhere. We work in English and Hebrew, with basic Portuguese and Spanish.
ONE DEAL AT A TIME
Have a deal on the table?
Book an hour to go through it together. The fee is credited toward a feasibility study.
