M. Safra & Co. is a São Paulo-based family investment office and investment manager established to manage the Safra family’s assets independently of affiliated banks. Founded in 1998, it began managing outside investor capital in 2008, using the same team and investment principles for external funds as for the family portfolio. Its documented real estate activity includes large commercial property in New York, with office and retail space. In 2013, M. Safra & Co. joined with Zhang Xin’s family investment group to acquire a 40% stake in Manhattan’s General Motors Building, a 2-million-square-foot office tower with extensive retail space and an implied value of about $3.4 billion. The transaction illustrates the firm’s participation alongside international partners in an institutional-scale U.S. property investment. For real estate sponsors, M. Safra & Co. stands out as a family-office investor with family wealth under management, experience partnering on a major direct property acquisition, and a history spanning São Paulo and New York.
