Notes to editors:
Dolphin is the leading investor in the residential resort sector in south-east Europe and the largest real estate investment company listed on AIM.
Dolphin seeks to generate strong capital growth for its shareholders by acquiring large seafront sites of striking natural beauty primarily, in the eastern Mediterranean region, and establishing sophisticated leisure-integrated residential resorts.
Since its inception in 2005, Dolphin has raised €859 million, has become one of the largest private seafront landowners in Greece and Cyprus and has partnered with some of the world's most recognised architects, golf course designers and hotel operators.
In April 2007, Dolphin acquired Aristo, one of the largest holiday home developers in south-east Europe. This enabled the enlarged Company to combine real estate private equity investment expertise with leading development experience and local market knowledge.
Dolphin's portfolio is currently spread over 65 million m² of prime coastal developable land and comprises 15 large-scale, leisure-integrated residential resorts under development in Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Turkey, Panama and the Dominican Republic and more than 60 smaller holiday home projects through Aristo Developers in Cyprus.
Dolphin is managed by Dolphin Capital Partners ("DCP" or the "Investment Manager"), an independent private equity management firm that specialises in real estate investments.
