ARD’s Heritage in Brazil

Over the past 20 years, the family has founded several brokerages, completed small-scale developments, and participated in leading real estate funds.

Brazil offers significant investment potential driven by urbanization and housing shortages, but it also presents complex regulations and bureaucracy. For foreigners, the market is usually hard to entry. This requires boots on the ground. ​

ARD Capital Partners was founded precisely to leverage local roots and long-term relationships to provide a reliable bridge between foreign investors and high-yield real estate projects in Brazil.​
