The international Porta Group continues to grow. Following the successful establishment of the system in the Balearics, the Canaries and on the Spanish mainland, the Group entered the German real estate market in 2010 with the opening of Porta Mondial Düsseldorf. Within just a short space of time, three further licences were awarded in Germany – in Saarbrücken, Frankfurt and Cologne – and other locations are currently being developed.
The next step being planned is an expansion of the franchise system to cover the entire Mediterranean area, as well as selected holiday regions outside Europe. To oversee this further international expansion Porta Mondial AG, which is based in Krefeld, Germany, is increasing its resources and will be opening its International Franchise Head Office in Palma de Mallorca on 5th August.
Founder and CEO Joachim Semrau explains the company“s close ties with Majorca: „In 2005 we opened our first Porta Mallorquina estate agency in Artá. Today the Porta Group operates internationally and Porta Mallorquina is our most successful Master Partner Licensee in Spain.“ In addition, he says, Palma Airport offers good connections. „As the European hub, we are easy to reach for individuals from any country who are interested in a licence,“ Joachim Semrau adds with satisfaction. The office, centrally located on Calle Colom close to the Plaza Mayor, offers the entrepreneur ideal conditions for opening up new markets.
The official inauguration of the International Franchise Head Office will take place from 2.30 p.m. on 5th August. Porta Mondial management has invited Partner Licensees, friends and companions of the corporate group to attend. Under the inauguration motto „Hitos históricos – Milestones – Meilensteine“ guests can look forward to the exclusive opening of a modern art exhibition attended by the artists Julia Marqués Meyer, Axel Crieger, Daniel Brunkert und Peter Wolframm.
The new and prestigious Franchise Head Office in the old town area of Palma is also a kind of showroom for the Porta Mondial estate agency concept which was specially designed for the franchise group by renowned brand architects. As in the estate agencies, the eye is captivated by a large-scale logo banner that extends along the entrance area; inside, upmarket design and excellent craftsmanship are the hallmarks of the tasteful and functionally arranged furnishings.
Apart from attending to the needs of existing Master Partner Licensees, the eight-member Porta Mondial team in Majorca will primarily be focusing on the development of further international holiday real estate websites which can be taken over by future Master Partner Licensees as ready-to-go online brands – inclusive of property portfolios (Porta Mondial brand pre-launch). The first non-Spanish Mediterranean brand to go online is portamondial croatia, followed by Porta Mondial Florida and Porta Mondial Southafrica.
