Reconversion, renovation and revitalization of distressed commercial assets, serving local communities and citizens.
ABBAQ is a real estate investment and management company dedicated to the renaissance of distressed commercial spaces.
Specialists in repositioning obsolete assets, avoiding the artificialization of new land.
Constant dialogue with local officials, residents and stakeholders to co-build meaningful projects.
Our teams don't manage remotely — present daily to follow works and support our tenants.
ABBAQ deliberately chooses to renovate existing buildings rather than build new ones — an eco-responsible approach fully aligned with the goals of the ecological transition and public policy.
Fully aligned with the "Zero Net Land Take" (ZAN) law, we fight urban sprawl by preserving agricultural and natural land.
Renovation avoids the massive CO2 emissions linked to new construction and reduces the volume of demolition waste.
We transform obsolete, degraded commercial brownfields into modern, attractive and energy-efficient destinations.
Our strength lies in our ability to intervene where others stop. We deploy a complete intervention cycle, built on a daily presence and constant dialogue with local stakeholders.
