Pontegadea was born as an investment instrument for Amancio Ortega to channel the billionaire dividends that the millionaire obtained for your Inditex shares. These successful investments have turned Pontegadea into the second empire billionaire fashion mogul (and now also from brick).
In this dynamic, Ortega has just received the second distribution of Inditex dividends in 2025, for a total amount of 1,552 million euros. This payment has served to cover the second largest purchase in the history of Pontegadea: “The Post” in Vancouver (Canada).
Again, homemade from Amazon. Amancio Ortega’s last big purchase has been an enclave in the center of Vancouver. According to published Bloomberg, it is a complete block of offices in which the city’s old post office is joined with two imposing glass and steel buildings of 22 and 19 floors respectively. The name of the complex arises precisely from this historical origin of the Canada Post post office: The Post.
The complex is made up of two office towers occupied by Amazon. In this way, once again, Amancio Ortega becomes Jeff Bezos’ landlord by purchasing another office building from which the ecommerce giant operates. In addition to Amazon, Ortega will be the homemade from other multinationals such as Starbucks, Oakberry or Loblaws City Market.
680 million dollars. The purchase of The Post is one of the greater investments of Pontegadea in its history, only surpassed by the purchase of the Royal Bank Plaza office complex (in Toronto), in which the Ortega real estate investor was left about 800 million euros in 2022. According to advanced Green Street Newsthe purchase of The Post has been closed for 1.1 billion Canadian dollars, which in exchange is equivalent to about 680 million euros.
Its previous owner had remodeled the property into about 102,193 square meters of offices and about 17,200 square meters of commercial space.
2,000 million invested in one year. So far this year, Pontegadea and its subsidiaries They have completed 13 purchase operations and investmentwith just over a month left until the end of the year.
According what was published by The Newspaperin the 13 operations that Pontegadea has closed in 2025, the real estate company has invested a total of 2,119 million euros.
