About Us
8 Pines is the result of the shared vision of four partners with a solid track record in the real estate sector, strengthened by their experience within CK Group and FAM Investments. United by the same philosophy, they are distinguished by the close involvement they maintain in every detail of their developments—from architectural conception to design and finishing selections—ensuring projects of excellence and timelessness.
The alignment of values among the founders materialized in Aroeira, a preferred location known for its exceptional quality of life and the natural landscape that characterizes the South Bank. It is within this setting that 8 Pines finds inspiration to create developments that integrate harmoniously into the surroundings and meet the needs and aspirations of their residents.
Guided by a passion for nature and an uncompromising attention to detail, 8 Pines positions itself as a leading real estate developer, dedicated to creating sophisticated, sustainable spaces designed for a fulfilling living experience.
