A Note From the Founders
Real estate, refined.
Returns, realised.
We do not broker other people’s buildings. We initiate, execute and operate our own — from the first site visit through every turnover, every rental contract, every quarterly yield statement. When an owner buys a ANCHOR apartment, they are buying the people who will still be managing it in year ten.
ANCHOR · Founding Group
What we do
Four disciplines, one standard.
From first-day takeover to long-horizon asset strategy, we keep every property within a single, consistent standard — ours.
— 02
Asset Management
Full turnkey operation of short- and long-term rental portfolios — listing, pricing, guest operations, maintenance, reporting. The owner simply receives the yield.

Investor Services
Golden Visa guidance, tax structuring, legal coordination and banking introductions — a single point of contact for international investors entering Greece or Cyprus.
Read more— 04
Sales & Leasing
In-house sales team, international broker network, multilingual guest relations. Units are sold and tenanted by the same company that will manage them thereafter.
Read moreThe way we work
Three principles we won't compromise on.
Boutique does not mean casual. Each property receives a dedicated lead — and a standard of documentation you would expect from a group five times our size.
— Principle 01
We own the full vertical.
Developer, operator, sales desk and asset manager under one roof. When you buy a Highground unit, the same team that built the building is the team that runs it — and is still accountable a decade later.
01
In-house construction & design oversight on every project
02
Direct sales team — no commission-driven brokers in the middle
03
Same entity handles handover, furnishing, listings and yield reporting
— Principle 02
Owner reporting you can read on Sunday.
A monthly statement that fits on one page: occupancy, nightly rate, net yield, maintenance incidents. The 40-page appendix is one click away — but most investors never look.
01
Single-page monthly, written not templated
02
Live dashboard with occupancy, pickup and bookings pipeline
03
Annual portfolio review with independent valuation
— Principle 03
We invest alongside our investors.
Highground retains equity in every development it brings to market. Our yield depends on the same rental pool as yours — which is why the operation is run as though every apartment were ours.
01
Retained equity in each development post-sale
02
Guaranteed-yield programmes for the first 24 months
03
Skin-in-the-game alignment, audited annually

Greece is the best-performing economy in Europe — and the country’s most disciplined developer is quietly assembling the portfolio to prove it.

A short history
Built slowly, on purpose.
Four team members to twenty-two. Two properties to eighteen. We grew at the pace the work deserved.
2016 — Beginning
Astrea International Real Estate founded.
Established in Athens with a simple thesis — Greece’s recovery would be a decade-long opportunity, and required an owner-operator, not a broker.
2020 — Athens
First flagship development.
Urban City 44 — a 210-unit residential tower in the historic heart of Athens — moves from land acquisition to pre-sale within twelve months.
2023 — Cyprus
Cross-border expansion.
The Ring and Via Limassol launch in Cyprus — extending the operator model beyond Greece for the first time.
2026 — Today
Six developments, two countries.
Over 400 residences under management. Same founding team. Same principle: develop, sell and operate — then stay.
