In-house real estate development benefits investors
Avara is a seasoned and innovative property developer whose competence has grown uniquely strong over the decades. Our own project development forms a foundation for stable and sustainable returns, accounting for individual investment strategies.
Property development offers an opportunity for a better overall return, which is based on the comprehensive management of projects, from planning processes to construction management.
Our goal is for roughly 50 per cent of Avara’s new buildings to be residential property investments of our own property development.
