The establishment of the Discovery Group signifies a pivotal moment in the journey and achievements of our founder.
This entity was meticulously structured to offer comprehensive brokerage and leasing services, catering to a diverse portfolio and, later on, extending its expertise to third party clients. At its core, the Discovery Group was designed as a dynamic vehicle, built for the acquisition of new assets across various sectors. Our firm believes in making steady progress, focusing on exploring new opportunities in each asset class, one investment at a time. This deliberate and focused strategy ensures the maximization of value and the realization of potential in every venture we undertake.
