ALMAS is a hospitality investment advisory platform operating across the UAE and Europe. We work as Single-Point Accountability advisors on hospitality development and repositioning — covering the full lifecycle from land assessment through asset stabilisation — for institutional and private capital.

It means one accountable interface governs a mandate from origination to exit, rather than the asset passing through separate, disconnected advisors at each stage. One contract, one delivery standard, one signatory with full legal authority — reducing handover gaps and conflicting incentives across the development lifecycle.

A Private Fee Protection Agreement is a commercial framework executed prior to any mandate, formalising scope, milestones, and fee structure upfront. There are no retainers and no billable hours — compensation is tied to milestone-aligned outcomes, so ALMAS and its partners carry a direct stake in the asset’s performance.

ALMAS maintains direct presence across the UAE — including Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah — and Europe, principally through its development partner TARCOZ, with a track record across Portugal, Italy, France, and the United States.

Sensory Engineering™ is ALMAS’s proprietary methodology for calibrating the guest experience against quantifiable investment objectives — translating an investment thesis into spatial, programmatic, and material specifications that produce a documented, defensible improvement in asset equity and market positioning.

ALMAS’s Fixed Platform Partners are Tomás Oliveira of TARCOZ (development and owner’s representation) and Jad Bardawil of Bardawil Developments (delivery and execution across the Gulf). Technical, specialist, and capital advisory partners — including design, infrastructure risk intelligence, and institutional transaction advisory through David R. Dobson of Chesterfield Brooks — are engaged on a project-specific basis by asset typology and market requirements.

No. ALMAS operates as a principal-aligned advisory platform, not a brokerage. Every partner in the platform carries a direct stake in an asset’s final performance, and engagements are governed by a Private Fee Protection Agreement rather than a brokerage commission model.

ALMAS engages across ground-up development, portfolio repositioning, acquisition due diligence, and branded residences — typically luxury and upper-upscale hospitality assets in the UAE and Europe, sourced off-market wherever possible.

Every engagement begins with a confidential conversation — no standardised mandates and no commitment before objectives and capital structure are understood. From there: a strategic review, mandate structuring through a signed FPA, and platform activation. Reach the team via the contact page, by phone, or by email at [email protected].

Asset identity, financial documentation, and full information packages are disclosed only upon execution of an NDA, and — for most mandates — a Letter of Intent with Proof of Funds. Investor and asset details are treated as confidential information throughout the engagement.
