Our Philosophy

Most of our clients
have never lived here

Rishad D’Cruz at his desk
Founder & Director

Rishad D’Cruz

An MBA from the University of Wales, a start in London lettings, and years spent building luxury homes in Goa. Rishad has seen property from the side that builds it, the side that rents it and the side that pays for it, which is a rarer combination here than it sounds.

He is also an award-winning filmmaker, and it shows in how he works. Where a building sits, how it is framed, what a room does to you when you walk into it: none of that is decoration to him. It is the reason one address holds its value while the one beside it quietly stops.

What you get in a conversation with him is a developer’s eye and an investor’s instinct at the same time. Fewer pitches, longer horizons, and decisions built around what the asset is still worth in ten years.

CEO

Shernol D’Souza

Born and raised in Muscat, Shernol reads the Gulf the way people do when they have lived in it rather than flown into it. His method does not change from one deal to the next: take the thing apart, find where the value actually sits, and decide from there.

He is a serious car man, and he studies a building much the way he studies an engine. How it is put together, how it performs, and what it will still be worth once the novelty has worn off. It makes him difficult to impress, which is rather the point.

His work does not stop at the signature either. Finding the tenant, vetting the carpenter and the electrician and the designer, handling the bank, steering the visa through. In Dubai you do not only need access. You need someone who understands how the pieces fit together.
