Welcome to the VMCASA
An investment in real estate is a long-term commitment.
To capital.
To operations.
To the communities that assets serve.
VMCASA advises on assets that must perform over time, not just transact. Our work spans development, restoration, stabilization, and repositioning, with a consistent focus on durability, compliance, and alignment between capital strategy and operational reality.
From our base in New York City, we advise across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, translating cross-border complexity into clear, locally grounded capital decisions.
Our Perspective
VMCASA is a strategic real estate advisory platform focused on judgment, structure, and long-term value stewardship.
We advise owners and investors at moments when clarity matters most: before execution, during transition, and across periods of market or operational change. Our work supports disciplined decision-making around timing, capital allocation, regulatory positioning, and long-term performance.
Real estate is not only an investment. It is long-duration capital embedded in communities, infrastructure, and regulatory environments. VMCASA exists to help clients navigate that complexity with rigor and restraint.
We operate selectively and independently. Our role is to provide experienced perspective, reduce blind spots, and support decisions that must hold across cycles.
About VMCASA
Sustainable performance requires balance.
VMCASA works at the intersection of growth, regulation, and responsibility. We help owners align investment objectives with operational constraints, regulatory frameworks, and long-term stewardship requirements.
Our approach reflects a belief that sound real estate strategy is built on discipline, not excess, and that clarity is a competitive advantage.
Balance and Stewardship
About Our Managing Principal
Viviana Addo
Viviana Addo works with real estate owners, developers, and investors when capital decisions carry real consequences.
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.
