STRUCTURE
Ring-fenced SPVs
Each Alto do Monte project operates through a project-specific special purpose vehicle with ring-fenced capital structure. Capital is segregated by project; no commingling.
ABOUT
Built in Porto. Served from Toronto.
Douro Invest is the Canadian partner of Alto do Monte Properties, connecting Canadian investors to professionally managed residential development in Portugal.
DOURO INVEST
A Canadian gateway with a Porto operator.
Douro Invest Ltd. is a Canadian corporation based in Toronto, Ontario, operating as the North American arm of Alto do Monte Properties. We are the relationship layer between Canadian investors and the development team building projects in Porto — managing investor introductions, hosting our events program, and coordinating ongoing reporting and communications.
Our work happens through three event formats — the annual Douro Real Estate Summit in Montreal, the monthly Douro Evenings in Toronto, and bespoke Private Gatherings on request — alongside ongoing one-to-one relationships with investors, advisors, and the broader community working in Portuguese real estate. Capital is committed through our registered dealer partner under Canadian securities legislation. We operate as a referral source, not a securities dealer.
