Recently established European real estate investment company Enterprise Land has launched in Spain through a partnership with Optima Global Services, a Madrid-based asset manager specialising in complex, operational and value-add real estate assets.

As part of the partnership, Iñigo Taboada, who heads Optima’s asset management and business development will lead the venture as team director alongside Luis Vila and Javier Alcalde as joint managing directors.

Iñigo and Paul Rutte, Enterprise Land’s new director overseeing Dutch expansion, will initially focus on rolling out Casa, the firm’s new purpose-built student accommodation platform launched with Capital Assured.

Andrew Thornton, founder and CEO of Enterprise Land, said: “Our partnership with Optima Global Services and the creation of our Spanish subsidiary represent a significant step in our European expansion. I am especially delighted to be working with Iñigo again.

“The deep knowledge of the Spanish market, track record in asset management and long-standing relationship with Enterprise Land make Optima an ideal partner as we scale our platform across Iberia. With Iñigo and Paul driving the rollout of Casa, we are well placed to deliver on our vision of creating a leading pan-European student accommodation platform.”
