Who we are

Founded in 2004 by Miltos Kambourides and Pierre Charalambides, Dolphin Capital Partners (DCP) is an independent private equity firm specialising in land and real estate investments in South-East Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America.  We are a young and dynamic team with a multi-disciplined academic and professional background.  

What we do


Since 2005, DCP have raised approximately €1 billion in equity capital. DCP’s main investment vehicle is Dolphin Capital Investors (DCI), the largest AIM-listed real estate investment company by net assets. DCI invests in early-stage, master-planned, leisure-integrated, residential resorts.

Since 2006, DCP have established DCI as the leading investor in this sector and as one of the largest private seafront landowner in the eastern Mediterranean with a current asset base of over €2.2 billion.

DCI's portfolio currently comprises 13 large-scale, leisure-integrated residential resorts under development in Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Turkey, Panama and the Dominican Republic and more than 60 smaller holiday home projects through Aristo Developers in Greece and Cyprus, spread over approximately 65 million m2 of prime coastal developable land.

How we achieve our goals

  • By actively investing in early stage development opportunities and pristine large land sites that can be acquired at attractive prices and generate significant value by being converted from raw land into fully permitted, master-planned and branded residential resorts
  • By sourcing a constant stream of investment opportunities that are privately negotiated, thereby avoiding competitive auctions
  • By applying our strong due diligence and execution skills, supported by dedicated legal and accounting support
  • By maintaining a disciplined approach to managing our assets, guided by the fundamental principles of risk mitigation, strict supervision and value enhancement
