MAP Group is a business group based near Lisbon that operates primarily in the construction and real estate sectors in Portugal. The organization was founded by Diogo Abecasis and José Rui Meneses e Castro, and has become known for its specialization and segmentation into several distinct business units.
The group recently went through a restructuring process and now comprises six companies: MAP Engenharia e Construção, which focuses on large construction projects; MAP Spaces, specializing in fit-outs for offices, hotels, and commercial properties; Villas, dedicated exclusively to luxury villa construction; MAP Property Services, which oversees maintenance and asset management; MAP Real Estate, which acts as a co-investment vehicle for real estate development; and MAP Capital, which invests in businesses that complement the group’s core activities.
MAP Group operates in residential, office, hospitality, commercial, services, industrial, and logistics sectors. Its current project portfolio is valued at 150 million euros, with expectations to double its turnover in 2024. The group has positioned itself as a provider of integrated solutions across the real estate value chain, engaging in both construction and property investment activities and aiming for controlled, cost-effective project execution.
Examples of MAP Group’s specialization include Villas, the first boutique construction company in Portugal focused on high-end residences, and MAP Real Estate’s role as a co-investment partner providing risk-sharing and development expertise on real estate projects. The group emphasizes technical expertise, specialization by sector, and a commitment to sustainability, maintaining a strong local presence with intentions to expand internationally.
