Giorgio Torelli, CEO of Luminova Real Estate Dubai, on supporting buyers at every stage of a property purchase.
The DIFC-based company makes its first real estate acquisition and plans to invest USD 50 million in the UAE in 2026, followed by USD 500 million in 2027
Dubai, UAE, 3 November 2026: Visionary Investment Holding has acquired Luminova Real Estate and Luminova Holiday Homes, its first real estate investment. The transaction was completed through the special purpose vehicle Real Inv Gold and has a stated value of AED 1 million.
Luminova Real Estate and Luminova Holiday Homes were established more than two years ago. They have worked in real estate across Europe, including Italy, Portugal, England and Spain, and in California, USA. Both have also operated in Dubai for several years. Luminova Real Estate provides real estate consultancy, and Luminova Holiday Homes offers holiday home services. According to information provided by the companies, the two have managed more than 80 properties combined in recent months.
The companies are now widening their activity in the United Arab Emirates. They are assessing real estate and development opportunities with potential for capital appreciation, and they are strengthening their network of agents to support growth in the region.
“Our entry into Dubai’s real estate market marks the beginning of a long-term investment strategy focused on sustainable growth, new opportunities, and creating lasting value,” said Giorgio Torelli.
Investment programme
The acquisition is part of the holding company’s wider real estate programme in the UAE. Visionary is established in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and plans to deploy USD 50 million in 2026 and a further USD 500 million in 2027. The company says it has signed binding investment commitments totalling USD 500 million. These are contractual obligations and should not be read as capital already fully paid in.
Leadership
Torelli will lead Visionary Investment Holding as Chief Executive Officer and General Manager for 2026. He will oversee the company’s development and the delivery of its investment programme, including identifying real estate opportunities and building its presence in the UAE.
An emerging Italian executive, Giorgio Torelli has built international relationships with investment funds and has spent the past two years involved in real estate projects in the UAE. He now leads a multinational team of agents.
He believes digitalisation and globalisation are speeding up change in property markets, so investment strategies must adapt. He pays close attention to project timelines, market developments and risk, and considers projects with horizons beyond three years to need especially careful assessment. His team uses continuous market research and new technologies, including artificial intelligence, to evaluate opportunities.
Shareholder Track Record
Visionary Asset Capital, a shareholder in the new holding company, has operated in England for two years. According to figures it supplied, it invested approximately USD 87 million in real estate projects between January and December 2025. It reports a net annualised return of 23% for the European investors involved and says proceeds have been distributed. These figures relate to Visionary Asset Capital’s previous activities, not to Visionary Investment Holding. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Backing Sport
Visionary also intends to allocate 10% of profits from its real estate operations to sports donations and sponsorships. Football is the main focus, with support for organisations and projects in other disciplines also planned.
