Investment Mandates
A selection of anonymised investment mandates — illustrating the architectural repositioning strategies Urban Selection identifies and the capital outcomes achieved. All details modified to protect confidentiality.
Isola · Use Conversion
Former Commercial Ground Floor — Residential Conversion
A 380mq former commercial space with 5.8m ceilings in a 1930s Isola building — acquired below residential value due to commercial classification. Urban Selection identified the conversion potential and coordinated a change-of-use application prior to offer. Converted to two residential units within fourteen months.
+62%
Value uplift from acquisition to post-conversion market assessment
Brera · Spatial Reconfiguration
Undivided Piano Nobile — Reconfiguration and Restoration
A 440mq undivided floor in a 1908 Brera palazzo — original plan largely intact but heavily subdivided by 1970s partitions. Urban Selection's architectural assessment identified the original spatial logic. Acquired; partitions removed, original proportions restored. Sold eighteen months later as a single residence.

Porta Venezia · Historic Restoration
Art Nouveau Villino — Full Restoration
A three-floor Liberty villino in Porta Venezia — original fabric of exceptional quality but decades of neglect. Urban Selection identified the property through direct contact with the estate, negotiated acquisition in degraded condition, and coordinated a full restoration using specialist contractors. Now primary residence of the acquiring client.
