Value-Add Residential
We acquire and transform selected residential properties for resale. When the market, property and applicable regulations allow, we furnish and operate the residence as a short-term rental during the sales period. This allows the asset to generate interim cash flow while it is professionally positioned and marketed for its next owner.

PROJECTS IN DETAIL
Four houses in Mexico City, each one a different starting point: a heritage home, a family legacy, a divided property brought back together. One is complete and operating; three are underway.
Inca House
A house with real potential in Colonia Roma Sur, split across a ground floor, an upper floor and a roof terrace — but divided for two families, with the lower level only reachable through the garage. The brief was to make it read and work as a single home.
The house was reconnected so it can be walked as one, with a new staircase opening onto a roof garden. Kitchen, interior stairs and rooftop pergola were built as extensions, electrical and plumbing renewed, and the interiors finished in a fresh, modern palette.
Inca House is one of the most successful projects operated by Dave & Nat Hosting. In 2025 it was the most-booked property in the portfolio, and it ranks among the highest-rated homes on Airbnb, currently at 4.92 stars. 92% of its reviews are five stars.
Casa Cenit
A house that could not be updated on finishes alone. Reaching the layout and light the project called for meant opening up the structure itself.
Extensive construction and structural modification to reshape the house from the inside out, with an architectural language drawn from Mérida, Yucatán — its masonry, proportions and handling of light and shade.
A house rebuilt around its new structure, where the reference to Yucatán reads in the materials and the way light moves through the rooms.
Casa Antonia
A 59-year-old house in a historic district, listed for its conservation value. For decades a family home and the seat of La Oficina del Libro, a well-loved neighborhood bookshop. After years standing empty, it needed to come back into use without erasing what it had been.
The original façade and tree-shaded entry patio stay intact; everything happens inside. Light stone floors, warm tones and sculpted furniture in the living room. Custom joinery turns the stair wall into a library, a nod to the house’s years among books. Built-in banquettes in the dining area, a kitchen in hardwoods and natural stone, and a pergola terrace with outdoor kitchen at the rear.
Casa Antonia does not impose a style; it recovers the beauty the house always had — a historic home warm enough to be lived in again.
Mazarosa
A pink house in the heart of Mexico City: the home where the seven Chait siblings grew up. The renovation had to let it receive new stories without losing the essence it was born with.
The iconic pink that defined the house is kept and reinterpreted with timeless materials, natural light and a new layout that gives every corner its value back. Warm textures and wrought-iron details balance nostalgia with the contemporary.
Fitting for a family whose name means tailor in Hebrew, the Chaits are stitching their house back together — a home that honors its legacy and celebrates the beauty of starting again.
