MAGOP began in 2013 as an advisory and consultancy firm at the intersection of corporate finance and real estate. A decade later, it operates as a group — sourcing, building and protecting property value for professional clients across Portugal.
MAGOP was founded in 2013 as an advisory firm specialised in corporate finance and real estate — and has since grown into the operational group it is today: one accountable partner across sourcing, construction and maintenance of property assets in Portugal.
MAGOP began with a focused mandate: corporate finance and real estate advisory for professional clients. Mergers and acquisitions, debt restructuring, capital raising, financial analysis — and, on the property side, feasibility studies, market analysis, project management, procurement and financing. A one-stop-shop for clients who needed both the financial structure and the operational delivery to come from the same hand.
Over a decade of running those mandates, one pattern repeated itself: the projects that performed in the long run were not the ones with the sharpest financial engineering — they were the ones where sourcing, construction and maintenance were handled with the same discipline, by people who answered to the same standard. So MAGOP was rebuilt around that observation.
Most property operators specialise in one slice of the lifecycle and outsource the rest — which is exactly where value leaks. MAGOP is structured as three companies under one group: Real Estate, Construction and Maintenance, each with its own discipline and team, coordinated under one set of standards and one accountability for the asset across decades.
Beyond MAGOP, I sit on the executive boards of the Arab-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Portuguese-Saudi Business Council, on the General Assembly of the Portugal–Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, and as Executive Secretary of CIP's Strategic Council for Foreign Direct Investment Attraction. I founded Where To Emigrate and lead DOMOS Advisory, which guides international clients through cross-border banking, legal and corporate structuring.
That network is not background — it is how MAGOP sees Portugal: as a jurisdiction inside a much larger flow of capital, talent and opportunity. It shapes the assets we source and the clients we serve.
“ Wealth in real estate is not built in transactions. It is built in operations — sustained, unglamorous, patient. ” — António Mira, Managing Partner
Quietly, mostly. The clients who matter to us tend to find us through other clients. We don't run on marketing — we run on referrals, repeat mandates, and the slow compounding trust of operators who have seen how we behave when something goes wrong on a job site at 6pm on a Friday.
We source it, build it, and keep it standing — one group accountable for the asset across its whole life.
