Vivara, backed by GCO Ventures, adds over 1,500 rental homes to its portfolio

The company Vivara, specialized in comprehensive residential rental management and part of GCO Ventures, has increased its managed portfolio by over 1,500 rental homes from various investment vehicles. With this operation, the company—founded in 2024—now provides its full-service rental management to more than 2,000 landlords and tenants, thanks to its collaboration with real estate agents across Spain.

Privatization is a process in which institutional investors divest a rental housing portfolio by selling homes individually to private owners, while keeping the existing lease agreements in place. Tenants maintain their contractual rights under current leases, and Vivara manages the rental process comprehensively, providing security and professionalism for both landlords and tenants.

This is a growing trend in the market, enabling private owners to enter the residential investment space, preserving rental contracts, maintaining contract stability, and preventing the withdrawal of assets from the market.

In these operations, Vivara coordinates the marketing of the homes through its extensive network of real estate agents, with whom it maintains close collaboration, and subsequently ensures professional and comprehensive rental management.

In the words of Llàtzer Puigpelat: “The rental market is currently very critical and stressed due to the lack of supply and increasingly complex and restrictive regulations. We need to move toward a more balanced and socially sustainable rental market, and the professional management that Vivara provides for landlords and tenants brings order, predictability, and confidence.”
