Location3 Investments

What Location3 Investments does

Location3 Investments, LLC is a Coral Gables, Florida-based real estate private equity and development firm founded in 2008 by Fernando de Nuñez. The company invests equity capital alongside best-in-class local developers in South Florida real estate projects, with an investment thesis built on identifying supply/demand imbalances at different points of the real estate cycle. Its active portfolio spans 12 development projects across Coral Gables, Miami (Edgewater, Brickell, Wynwood), Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Aventura, Orlando, and Cocoa, with individual project sellout values ranging from $14M to $189M. Product mix includes branded luxury residences (Armani Casa), condo-hotel developments (Elle Residences, Riva Residenze, Visions at Brickell Station), mixed-use residential (Alhambra Parc, The Village at Coral Gables), resort properties (Visions Resort & Spa Phases I-V), and multifamily/single-family projects (1000 Marina Mile, Cocoa Bay Village Estates). The firm also provides capital structuring and consulting services, and maintains an additional office in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Recurring co-development partners include Vertical Developments, Urban Network Capital Group (UNCG), MG Developer, Prive Group, and OKO Group.

The business generates revenue through equity participation in real estate development (earning the spread between development costs and sellout prices), capital structuring and consulting fees, and value-add strategies on distressed asset acquisitions. Go-to-market is relationship-driven, targeting high-net-worth individual investors and institutional capital through off-market deal sourcing rather than standardized distribution channels. The 1-10 person team is led by CEO Fernando de Nuñez, with a Marketing Director (Silvana Laura Suarez) and a Director of Business Development (Phoebe White) stationed in Australia to extend reach into Asia-Pacific capital. Cumulative transactions orchestrated since inception exceed $250M across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Louisiana; specific disclosed deals include a $40.55M Mohawk multifamily equity raise (Wynwood, 2021), $54M OKO Group land assembly (Edgewater, 2016), and a Bayloft land-banking project that generated 86% ROI (114% annualized) over a 9-month hold (2013). The underlying technology is a relationship-and-experiential underwriting platform — there is no disclosed proprietary technology stack, AI/ML capability, or SaaS product; competitive advantage rests on local deal flow, founder track record, and partner ecosystem rather than technology differentiation.
