Overview
Espai d'Inversions calls itself a Catalan family office. It was set up alongside the family business, Grup Bon Preu, and its people were co-founders and directors of Grup Bon Preu – Esclat until the family began leaving the group in 2019. It now reinvests through Turtle Capital SCR, which backs late-seed and pre-Series A start-ups and management buy-outs, buy-ins and search funds, either directly or through managers it trusts. Its second vehicle, Solvic Ocean SL, buys offices, retail premises, hotels and care homes and leases them to operating companies.
Investment thesis

Solvic Ocean: business real estate in provincial capitals or prime streets of smaller cities, including sale-and-leaseback.
