Who it is for
You are…
A wealth manager advising a client
Your client wants to buy in Asia. You need ground truth to show them, under your name.
How we work with advisors →A landowner or developer, in France or Asia
What your land can carry, who will buy, how to get it consented. We also direct the urban design: masterplan, density, public realm.
Masterplan direction →Where the value is decided
Most of a project’s result is decided before the first drawing.
What the land can carry, who buys, whether the municipality follows. All three are settled before the architect: cheap to get right, expensive to reverse.

How it works
Three ways in. Most clients start with the first.
- 01
Opportunity Review
One site, one question. A written go / no-go, including the case against.
- 02
Development Strategy
Capacity, product, market, phasing, financing: the file for your bank or partner.
- 03
Owner’s representation
We run the project on the ground, through to delivery: architect, contractor, notary, permits.
Fees, not commissions. We sell no property and take nothing from the other side of a deal. On projects we carry to delivery, part of our fee can depend on the result.
