Aspida Capital
Aspida Capital began in 2017 under Tony Yerolemou. The family wealth originated from the £110 million sale of Katsouris Fresh Foods and the Cypressa brand to an Icelandic buyer in 2000. The office maintains its primary mandate around the Yerolemou family's property holdings. The firm originates, acquires, structures and manages UK commercial real estate and development projects. It executes through blind and structured syndications, joint ventures, asset management mandates and advisory roles. Investment activity stays within Europe, centered on the United Kingdom. Confirmed holdings include a mixed-use UK real estate portfolio and a London retail site. The office also maintains a proprietary trading book and an interest in Icelandic horses. Two London addresses house operations: 1 Kings Avenue, London N21 3NA and 6th Floor, 23-24 Margaret Street, London W1W 8LF. Antony Antoniou serves as a key business partner and managing director of the adjacent property advisory firm Robert Irving Burns. Philanthropic activity includes support for RADIOMARATHON (FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS) LTD and the American University of Beirut Mediterraneo campus project. Aspida Capital remains structured as a single-family office that selectively offers syndication and co-investment slots to other family offices and fund managers. This hybrid posture allows the firm to retain full control over core family assets while using external capital to scale specific property opportunities without altering governance or decision rights.
