We commit our capital and our name to every acquisition. Around the founders, a team of architects, analysts and partners prefers to remain in the background — all bound by the same standard: to carry every transaction to the highest level, in absolute discretion.

Zak Bentalha
Zak Bentalha began by founding his own brand in Parisian prime real estate, built around a simple idea: to treat every rare property as a luxury object, not a market product.
He then brought his expertise to several leading Parisian property companies, for which he led large-scale transactions on major assets — an experience that gave him the measure of institutional structuring and the execution discipline it demands.
In November 2025 he founded Financière Harcove to bring that standard to the luxury segment and deliver exceptional properties. He surrounded himself with the best profiles and built an integrated structure able to ensure continuity between acquisition, design and delivery — with no break between the one who buys and the one who delivers.
His conviction in one sentence: an asset well bought is an asset half repositioned.
Zeina Akel
Zeina Akel first founded her own brand in luxury real estate, where she built a reputation with the most demanding private owners in the capital.
Her path led her to lead the financial side with foreign institutional investors, whose codes, reporting requirements and investment criteria she knows well. She structures and defends the case before these partners — a field where trust is earned through precision.
Co-founder et associée de Financière Harcove, elle est engagée sur l'ensemble des décisions du fonds : acquisitions, arbitrages, financements et développement. Sa connaissance fine de l'immobilier de luxe — des standards de finition aux attentes réelles des acquéreurs de ce marché — donne à l'équipe le niveau d'exigence auquel chaque opération doit être livrée.
She holds to one simple principle: discretion is not a commercial posture, it is a contractual commitment.
Sylvain Kohler
Sylvain Kohler is a man of the field. A property trader for several years, he bought, restructured and resold on his own account — learning the value of an asset where it is truly tested: on site and at resale.
Along the way he built a dense network among Parisian notaries, family offices and brokers, through which many opportunities pass before ever reaching the market.
Head of Investments de Financière Harcove, il chapeaute l'ensemble des opérations en interne : analyse des actifs présentés, arbitrage des acquisitions, chiffrage des travaux et supervision des chantiers. Aucune offre n'est émise sans que le coût de restructuration ait été arrêté sous sa responsabilité.
His working principle: a works budget that overruns is a budget that was poorly set.
“Harcove was born of a conviction forged in the field: in Parisian prime real estate, value is not found, it is built. Years of acquiring, restructuring and reselling taught us where it hides — in a poorly conceived layout, a complex co-ownership, a forgotten top floor. With Harcove, we chose to stop advising on that value and to buy it ourselves, committing our own capital.”
