For hotels, offices, retail, and residential projects, we identify locations and spaces in the capitals of Eastern Europe (Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, etc.).
We assess context, accessibility, reputation, and potential; coordinate viewings, negotiations, and contracts; and verify urban planning and operational compatibility.
From the search to the handover of the keys, the client works with a single point of contact. Palazzo Diva leads the process, reduces timelines, and preserves the brand’s standing.
We start with a structured brief: asset type, square footage, target clientele, required level of representation, budget, opening timeline, and any brand or group constraints.
Based on this, we define a focused search strategy that combines off-market opportunities, local networks, and analysis of key urban districts. The goal is not simply to find “a space,” but to identify the location that strengthens the brand’s positioning and supports the project’s economic model.
For each city, we analyze neighborhoods, pedestrian and vehicle flows, proximity to transport hubs, the mix of uses (offices, retail, hospitality, residential), the presence of competitors, and potential partners.
We select an initial set of properties, eliminate the less consistent options, and turn it into a truly comparable shortlist, with concise fact sheets highlighting strengths, critical issues, and long-term value-creation potential.
We organize and accompany on-site visits, coordinating owners, agents, and property managers.
Before each visit, we prepare the client with concise dossiers so that, on the ground, they can focus on impressions and decisions rather than collecting basic information. After each viewing, we gather feedback, translate it into more precise selection criteria, and progressively refine the scope of the search.
When an opportunity looks promising, we activate the necessary checks:
urban planning compatibility, the feasibility of a change of use or renovation works, technical constraints, MEP and structural conditions, as well as economic and contractual terms. We work closely with legal, tax, and planning advisors to ensure the operation is sustainable and aligned with the group’s overall strategy—avoiding surprises late in the negotiation.
We manage the negotiation phases
From the expression of interest to letters of intent, from offers and counteroffers through to the signing of the lease or purchase agreement—aligning expectations across all parties involved. The client has one point of contact who speaks their language, filters local complexity, and protects timing, terms, and the brand’s image.
Once the location is selected, we support the setup:
handover with technical professionals, planning for any compliance or fit-out works, and coordination with design, procurement, and operations teams. The objective is to quickly turn a “found” space into a site that is ready to operate: address, contracts, keys in hand, and a project that is consistent with the client’s identity.
