The Harland & Poston Group has secured a wide-ranging editorial pact with IMI Daily, the specialist journal read by legislators, private-office advisers and internationally mobile investors from Vancouver to Vladivostok. The agreement confers the coveted Industry Expert appellation—a label reserved for organisations that substantiate every assertion with hard evidence and can demonstrate consistent delivery across multiple jurisdictions. In less than a decade, the Group has moved from regional upstart to an authority now invited to shape the industry’s most closely followed forum.IMI Daily is not another newsletter in a crowded inbox. Its daily briefings land on the desks of the officials who draft residency statutes, the lawyers who structure cross-border holdings, and the family offices responsible for shepherding capital through a shifting regulatory maze. To hold Industry Expert status inside this ecosystem is to gain a seat at the policy table before the ink dries on new rules.“Recognition from IMI Daily confirms that our research, client work and on-the-ground execution meet the highest bar in the market,” explained David Poston, Co-Founder and Chief Executive. “More importantly, it gives us licence to interrogate prevailing wisdom, supply context where headline numbers alone mislead, and offer readers a perspective rooted in real transactions rather than conjecture.”The collaboration is substantive rather than symbolic. The Harland & Poston Group will produce monthly columns, granular legislative digests and data-rich market deep-dives. Early commissions include a comparative analysis of European pathway reforms post-Schengen recast, a forecast of Asian liquidity into Mediterranean second-home stock, and a forensic look at the emerging ‘tech-nomad’ visa class. Each piece will combine proprietary data, first-hand fieldwork and critical commentary—precisely the blend IMI Daily’s readership has come to expect.Beyond the written word, the Group now becomes exclusive sponsor of IMI Daily’s Portugal Golden Visa portal, extending its visibility among applicants who prize transparency over sales patter. The sponsorship will double as a launch pad for exploring adjacent avenues, including the evolving Greek residency route and the newly floated Spanish reforms. Internal working groups are already distilling case studies, client testimonials and macroeconomic trendlines to feed the portal’s editorial calendar.For Harland & Poston, the tie-up neatly supports a broader communications thesis: the firm should help draft the narrative that governs capital flows and human movement, not merely transact once the regulations are set. It intends to use the platform to advocate for evidence-led policymaking, spotlight unintended consequences where they arise, and champion investor programmes that deliver reciprocal benefit to host nations.About Harland & Poston GroupFounded in Portugal in 2017, the Group operates across diversified and key industries, to ensure all of our clients' needs are met with the same degree of quality and commitment.

Harland & Poston Group has been recognised with the prestigious Five-Star Award in the category Best New Hotel Construction & Design Portugal at the International Property Awards 2025–2026. The ceremony took place last Thursday, the 23rd, at the Grosvenor Marriott Hotel in London.The accolade highlights the new Holiday Inn Express & Suites Portimão, located in the heart of the city, an urban regeneration project led by Harland & Poston Group through its development arm, HP Invest. The hotel impressed the judging panel for its blend of architectural innovation, design, sustainability and local economic impact, positioning itself as one of the most promising contemporary hospitality references in southern Europe.Two International Property AwardsSecuring the Five-Star Award, the highest distinction in its category, also qualified the hotel for the Regional (Europe) Awards, allowing it to compete at a European level for international recognition among the world’s leading real estate developments.Commenting on the award, Andreia Leite, Harland & Poston Group’s Business Development Director and project lead, said:“This award is a source of great pride for our entire team. The Portimão project demonstrates that strategic investment can go far beyond financial returns. What we achieved here was the restoration of confidence, the creation of jobs and the generation of long-term value for the community, which is why this project is so special. Its impact is visible not only in the building itself but also in the renewed quality of its surrounding urban environment. For us, this is the true meaning of development.”The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Portimão: From Abandonment to a Five-Star Award WinnerScheduled to open in the first quarter of 2026, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Portimão has undergone a complete transformation. Before redevelopment, the site consisted of the ruins of the former Hotel Tropimar, a building often occupied informally by drug users and homeless individuals who, during winter, resorted to lighting fires indoors to stay warm. The regeneration addressed these safety concerns, an essential improvement given the presence of a school just across the street, while revitalising local commerce and creating new jobs.Working closely with regional suppliers, the Group ensured that the majority of the hotel’s construction and equipment utilised Portuguese labour and materials, reinforcing its commitment to the Algarve’s economy.As completion approaches, the hotel is emerging as a new benchmark for sustainability. It is the first IHG-branded hotel in Portugal to join the Low Carbon Pioneers programme, operating with zero on-site emissions and powered exclusively by renewable energy. The project was designed with energy efficiency and environmental responsibility as guiding principles, setting a new national standard for sustainable hospitality.Design plays a pivotal role: this is one of the first Holiday Inn Express properties to incorporate IHG’s new Gen 5 Design, a concept that enhances the guest experience through more functional, modern and efficient spaces. Another distinctive feature is the inclusion of a swimming pool and outdoor area — uncommon for this IHG brand, typically associated with urban locations and short stays. This addition broadens the hotel’s appeal, attracting leisure travellers seeking a holiday destination with proximity to Praia da Rocha, combining comfort, recreation and sustainability.With Holiday Inn Express & Suites Portimão, the Group continues to demonstrate its ability to transform underutilised assets into high-performing, socially responsible projects, further consolidating its position as one of Portugal’s leading forces in real estate and investment.Pátio do Jordão: A Benchmark in Contemporary Residential RedevelopmentSet within the historic neighbourhood of Lisbon, the Mouraria, Pátio do Jordão has brought a renewed sense of coherence and quality to its immediate surroundings. Now fully completed and occupied, the Pateo stands as a thoughtful reimagining of a once-neglected 19th-century courtyard.What had long been a fading architectural relic has been carefully revived by the Harland & Poston Group and reshaped into a residential enclave noted for its elegance and purpose. The development comprises 11 bespoke homes, each designed to honour the building’s original character, from its preserved façade and vaulted structures to the distinctive limestone features, while introducing the standards expected of modern urban living.Contemporary enhancements are discreet yet substantial: reinforced structural stability, improved thermal and acoustic performance, and the use of environmentally responsible materials all contribute to a more resilient building.Pátio do Jordão is more than a residential project; it is a respectful nod to Lisbon’s architectural lineage, illustrating how sensitive restoration can yield places that feel both enduring and beautifully contemporary.
