The firm is rooted in the activities of a German real estate millionaire. More than 100 real estate professionals invest in residential, retail, office and logistics real estate. AM alpha is headquartered in Munich (Germany) and has additional offices in Hong Kong, Luxembourg, Istanbul, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney and Chile.

In 2018, the multi family office acquired the Edificio Mapfre office building in Lissabon. There are various reasons why an increasing number of family offices look into investments in Portugal: prices are still comparatively low and good returns reachable. On the other hand, the Portuguese industry and startup scene is growing. For instance, the Web Summit, one of the world’s largest startup events, is hosted in Lissabon. Furthermore, investment conditions are stable and administrative processes are quite easy.Sources (30.07.2019) (30.07.2019)Barreiro Retail Planet (30.07.2019) (30.07.2019) via UnsplashDisclaimer: The picture is only illustratory and not displaying the BPlanet shopping mall.You might like these articlesRelevant lists of family offices Rated 5.00 out of 5 €899,99 including VAT Rated 4.50 out of 5 €699,99 including VAT Rated 4.67 out of 5 €1.499,99 including VAT Rated 5.00 out of 5 €699,99 including VAT
