Skema

What Skema does

Skema Promotora is a Colombian real estate development company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Cali, operating across five Colombian markets (Cali, Medellín, Bogotá, Pereira, and Puerto Tejada) with regional offices in Medellín and Bogotá. The firm operates as a full-service real estate platform organized into four service lines: project structuring, project management (gerencia), digital-first commercialization, and construction. Construction is delivered through its strategic-operating parent, SAINC Ingenieros Constructores S.A., which brings 48 years of national and international construction experience and provides execution backbone and capital stability. Since inception, Skema has delivered more than 738,000 m² of built area across roughly 20 projects spanning commercial (e.g., C.C Victoria, C.C Premier Limonar), institutional (Torre Alianza for Alianza Fiduciaria, Edificio Cima, Bancolombia Granada), hotel/investment (Mama Shelter in Medellín), and residential segments (VIS social housing projects such as Aureal, Tribeca, Tamborá, and Cañadulce; NO VIS premium projects such as Astoria, Portón de Santa Teresita, and Arboleda Reservado).

The company's revenue model is built on one-time unit sales (residential apartments, commercial spaces, and investment units) supplemented by project management fees. Pricing varies by segment: VIS units start around $167M COP (~$42K USD) with government subsidy support, NO VIS units start around $285M–$456M COP (~$72K–$115K USD), and hotel investment units start at $440M COP. The go-to-market motion is sales-led but digitally enabled: over 80% of sales are processed through digital channels, enabling the firm to commercialize more than 2,000 units cumulatively with a light, agile organizational structure (11–50 employees). Customers span first-time homebuyers accessing VIS subsidies, middle/upper-income families, enterprise commercial tenants, and institutional investors; notable named enterprise clients include Bancolombia, Alianza Fiduciaria, and Mama Shelter. Leadership is distinctive in Colombia's construction sector, with over 60% female representation across director and managerial positions. The firm is privately held with no external venture or private equity funding disclosed for Skema Promotora itself; growth appears financed through project revenues and parent-company corporate support.
