Swiss Real Estate Investment Firm Opens New US HQ In Miami

Empira Group, a Switzerland-based institutional real estate investment firm, announced the opening of a new North American headquarters in Miami.

Located at 200 S. Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami, which has been dubbed the “Wall Street of the South,” Empira Group now occupies more than 10,000 square feet on the 46th floor of the Southeast Financial Center.

Empira Group first established its US presence in Miami in 2021 and has since expanded its local team and operational capabilities. The move to a new, larger space comes at a time of distinguished growth for the company and is part of an aggressive expansion plan to propel value creation. Led by Rafael Aregger, Head of Investments US, the new headquarters is a modern working environment with space for up to 50 employees spanning multiple disciplines including acquisitions, real estate development, asset management, capital markets, marketing and corporate functions.

“Our expanded office space in Miami represents another important milestone for Empira Group as we capitalize on the momentum we have built over the last two years and continue to grow the business,” said Lahcen Knapp, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors at Empira Group. “Miami is a vibrant city with global appeal that has quickly become a respected corporate hub attracting fast-growth companies and top tier talent. With more team members on the ground, we’re demonstrating a long-term commitment to the North American market and are well-positioned to serve our clients’ needs globally, while developing new strategic institutional capital partnerships.”
