Our history

Momentum group begins from the bold desire to generate a positive impact in the global society, through the fusion of an interdisciplinary knowledge and the family heritage of its founders in the real estate investment industry. Our impact is oriented on urban renewal projects, that offers ideal opportunities to vulnerable socioeconomic communities with a great potential of growth.

The history and experience of Momentum Group, begins as an organization with a long family tradition. During the 1980s, through an experimental model in the European and Colombian market, the company achieve to master the traditional real estate investment industry. Prior knowledge of the entire value chain in the businesses industry, allowed its founders to developed the ideal criteria to understand and act in a comprehensive market, incorporating disciplines typical of an organizational structure, such as economics, law, architecture and international business relations.

Italy and Switzerland

At the end of the stage of the experimental model that took place in the 1980s, an evolving and transition phase begins. This transition is based on the business model improvement and the implementation of organizational principals that ends on the creation of the Cantiere Real Estate company, at Zürich – Switzerland, in 2013.

The consolidation of this organization, allowed us to incorporate the knowledge and principles acquired during our vast trajectory, evolving our approach into a structure based on private equity investment methodology. The organization begins humbly with small investments in Italy and Switzerland, implementing different business services such as investments, construction and management of third parties real estate assets.

Due to a successful consolidation in the European market, Cantiere Real Estate is renamed as the Momentum Group organization, paving the path to the Momentum S.r.l. (Italy) and Momentum AG (Switzerland).

In 2015, willing to expand into the Latin American market, Momentum Group S.r.l.  through a merging and acquisitions model (M&A) has purchased the Colombian company “Soluciones juridicas inmobiliarias S.A.S“. changing the company name and obtaining as result, the Momentum Group S.A.S. corporation.

This merger was the ideal scenario to consummate the strategy of consolidating the company into the Latin American market, proceeding to strengthen next, the areas of construction and asset management in our portfolio.

Following the merger, Important high-profile clients were acquired, thanks to the company’s strategic approach, remarkable projects were carried out; from the construction of new buildings in the retail sector, to the management of real estate assets.

This holistic approach gave the company a competitive advantage in the real estate investment sector, since the knowledge and clients acquired in these areas were key factors in perfectioning the Momentum Group’s investment model.
