Leadership
Our History
Since its inception, Integra Investments has organically grown to over 40 team members, and completed various impactful projects throughout the communities it invests in.
Integra’s history and investment strategy began in 2001, when Paulo Tavares de Melo began investing in real estate opportunities on behalf of the Tavares de Melo family, one of Brazil’s most well-respected entrepreneurial families. From 2001 to 2008, Paulo spearheaded the group’s initiatives and completed multiple successful investments primarily through land acquisitions and dispositions. Integra was initially founded in 2006; however, it was not until 2009, as the Florida real estate market became abundant with opportunities, that Nelson Stabile joined Paulo Melo to enhance the team’s execution capabilities and pursue a more comprehensive investment and development strategy through the firm Integra Investments.
Nelson’s construction and development expertise proved a great fit for Integra’s strategy – to aggressively pursue projects with an opportunistic, highly value-added profile. In 2013, Victor Ballestas joined the company as a Principal, bringing vast knowledge of the local development market and giving way to a new set of opportunities for Integra, including condominium and mixed-use development.
