Borgo del Forte
When a successful entrepreneur from one of the world’s best-performing private equity groups came to Brash with a vision for a world-class integrated residential and wellness destination in Italy, we felt both honoured and excited to help him get the destination on the map. Following a careful assessment phase, we have been able to create and help deliver at two fronts: First, we developed the name, positioning and identity for their first project, Borgo del Forte, Marina San Giuseppe; a brand for a destination set to both transform and restore the reputation of the Italian Riviera. Second, we helped sourcing and evaluating a dedicated development company and crafted the positioning and identity for Marina Development Corporation (MDC), an enterprise focusing on developing and re-developing marinas. Orchestrated by a global team, MDC will enhance local communities and create legacies for future generations by uniquely combining prime real estate, wellness and lifestyle offerings.
A rare opportunity to regenerate and create a unique mixed use wellness destination and experience in a crowded, yet rather bland market. Whilst all other Riviera ports have an established appeal, developed organically over time – Borgo del Forte offers a unique chance to redefine a new ‘Riviera Living’ and provide what UHNWI’s seek, today and in the future. A ‘master-planned’ and ‘curated’ combination of multiple experiences with strong and relevant pillars (wellness, culture, leisure, arts & philanthropy), seamlessly unified into one journey and experience. New Super-prime ‘second home’ residential property, of a style & standard (sustainability) not found elsewhere in the region and located in close proximity to the reputed secure and well- equipped marina of Monaco.
