Viviana Addo works with owners, developers, and investors on the origination, structuring, and commercialization of complex real estate and infrastructure opportunities, including hyperscale digital infrastructure platforms, energy-adjacent land, and institutional asset dispositions.

She is the Managing Principal at VMCASA, a long-standing, multi-generational real estate platform that she has strategically rebranded and elevated into a portfolio and capital strategy advisory. Her work focuses on decisions before execution begins—helping clients determine when to buy, develop, stabilize, or exit assets, how to allocate capital, and how to reduce risk in complex, regulated, or cross-border situations.

Based in New York for over twenty-five years, with experience across the Americas, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, Viviana brings long-cycle perspective shaped by both institutional training and generational exposure to ownership, development, and asset stewardship. Her focus spans development strategy, incentives and affordability alignment, operating and ESG considerations, and portfolio transitions.

Clients typically engage Viviana when decisions feel irreversible, timelines are compressed, or the cost of getting it wrong is high. Her role is not to sell assets or manage day-to-day operations, but to help owners make disciplined, well-timed decisions that protect downside and preserve long-term value.

In addition to her advisory work, Viviana is a professor of international real estate and development and the creator and host of the Growing Cities podcast, where she convenes global leaders across real estate, infrastructure, investment, and cities. These platforms reflect her role as both practitioner and connector, translating global insight into practical capital judgment.
