Our Companies

The company EDIGAIA born in 1985 with my father. Since 2000, after some heart problems of my father, I started working in the company. Edigaia was a group of companies in areas like construction, real estate, global investments, hotels, parking, events and others.
In real estate and construction, we built and sold hundreds of houses, apartments, shops, offices and we made reformulations of some buildings and hotels.
This company had actives in an amount of 50 Million Euros excluding the building, lands, hotels and more that we bought and sell.
We were specialized in architectural innovation and high quality construction. We developed some of the best condominiums in North area... built by our company METRO CÚBICO and sold by our company EDIGAIA.
In 1989 we opened our first four stars hotel called GAIAHOTEL in the city center of Vila Nova de Gaia - Porto. After this one, we started the reconstruction of an old big farm to do a small luxury hotel and a place for big events (up to 1000 people)... this new investment was QUINTA S. SALVADOR.
Mixed with those companies, we had some investment companies like IMOFRANCELOS, S. SALVADOR IMOBILIARIA, MARINADOURO, CARDODO E SAMPAIO, PREDIDOURO... some of them only to buy and sell and others for construction too, and other companies for parking like AUTO GAIA PARQUE and GAIAEXPLOR.
This group of companies start doing the first steps in international market in São Tomé and Principe (Africa) with the development of a big touristic and residential complex. We created the company AGUA IZE INVESTMENTS.
After this one, we start looking for new markets like Brazil and Mozambique were we created some good relations.
In 2005 we did the first approach to the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi creating the company EDIGAIA INTERNATIONAL. In 2008 we established our first company there called RAK EDIGAIA in partnership with H.H. Sheikh Mohamed bin Saqr Al Qassimi (from Ras Al Khaimah Royal Family).
In 2009, through the good relations in UAE, I meet H.H. Sheikha Dr. Hind Al Qassimi (from Sharjah Royal Family and Chairwoman of Emirates Business Women Council) and we did two companies: one in Portugal called GULF - CONSULTING & INVESTMENTS and other in UAE called MIDDLE EAST GATE.
