Notes to Editors
Dolphin is a leading global investor in the residential resort sector in emerging markets and the largest real estate investment company quoted on AIM in terms of net assets. Dolphin seeks to generate strong capital growth for its shareholders by acquiring large seafront sites of striking natural beauty in the eastern Mediterranean, Caribbean and Latin America and establishing sophisticated leisure-integrated residential resorts.
Since its inception in 2005, Dolphin has raised €898 million, has become one of the largest private seafront landowners in Greece and Cyprus and has partnered with some of the world's most recognised architects, golf course designers and hotel operators.
In April 2007, Dolphin acquired Aristo Developers plc, one of the largest holiday home developers in south-east Europe. This enabled Dolphin to combine its real estate investment expertise with Aristo's leading development experience and local market knowledge.
Dolphin's portfolio is currently spread over 63 million m2 of prime coastal developable land and comprises 13 large-scale, leisure-integrated residential resorts under development in Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Turkey, Dominican Republic and Panama and more than 60 smaller holiday home projects through Aristo in Cyprus and Greece.
Dolphin is managed by Dolphin Capital Partners, an independent real estate private equity firm.
