Fastest growing commercial real estate advisor in Italy
The history of Dils began in 2019 with the merger of GVA Redilco and Sigest, creating Italy’s fastest growing commercial real estate advisor. The company grew from 40 employees in 2015 to 170 at the end of 2022 and the turnover went from € 6 to almost € 60 million during this period. At the end of 2021, GVA Redilco and Sigest continued as Dils with the ambition to grow into an international real estate advisor in continental Europe.
Giuseppe Amitrano, CEO of Dils: “We are very proud to have taken our first step towards European expansion in the Netherlands in the form of the strategic partnership with Van Gool Elburg, a company with a mindset and market approach that fits seamlessly with Dils. It is our ambition to grow into an international real estate services group and expansion to the next countries will be completed within a few months.”
