The history of Capvest

2001 Founded by Magid Khoury, Capvest is active in real estate project development, asset portfolio management and real estate consulting. Today, the company manages a real estate portfolio of more than CHF 700 million of residential and commercial buildings. Since 2018, globally, the value of its real estate development portfolio has crossed the CHF 1 billion threshold and 1,000 residential units under development.

2006 Capvest grows rapidly, makes its first land acquisition and develops its first PPE project. In 2008, the company deploys retail activities with the creation of its subsidiary: Retail Advisors Geneva.

Based in Geneva, the Capvest company has not stopped at the Swiss borders. It then expanded internationally with the creation of subsidiaries in North America and Europe.

2013 Capvest launches its first foreign subsidiary by developing Capwood Advisors in Canada. In addition to managing various properties in Quebec, the company has also undertaken numerous real estate development projects.
2014 Capvest’s Portuguese subsidiary, CapvestAdvis LDA, is established. With a local team and extensive experience in real estate investments and project management, the company quickly completed several acquisitions in Portugal. Today, our Portuguese subsidiary is developing several major real estate projects in the heart of Lisbon and its urban community.

2015 Capvest continues its rise and purchases the largest plot of land in the Canton of Geneva in the Villa Zone, with the objective of developing an ambitious real estate project.

Our company is distinguished mainly by its qualifications. Capvest has a wide range of activities and a real diversity of expertise to approach real estate projects in a global way, whatever the level of complexity. The various internal departments complement our main business lines, such as the “Sustainability” and “Interior Design” departments. The company also has subsidiaries in specific areas of real estate such as retail, brokerage and healthcare.

Sustainability is also at the heart of the group’s concerns and is reflected in a work methodology based on different pillars that you can discover on the page dedicated to this theme.

2017 Magid Khoury creates the Ehden philanthropic fund, active in Switzerland, Lebanon and Senegal. This foundation dedicates its funds and is mainly involved in access to education, the inclusion of disabled and autistic young people in the world of work, the professional integration of people at the end of the legal system, as well as with women victims of violence.
