The Story of Sotheby’s Kuwait

How it Began: Sotheby’s Kuwait developed from the working relationship between Michael Bolla and the Kuwaiti Royal family. “We had been collaborating on family properties around the world,” Said Mr. Bolla, “I’ve carried out tasks where the Al Sabah family owns properties, both making deals and solving issues. Eventually, there was a discussion within the Family, ‘Well, why don’t we have Michael just manage the properties?’ From there, things evolved naturally.”

“Completely organic,” Paula Al Sabah agrees, “We were working in Morocco, Dubai, New York, London, and Paris and ultimately needed to structure what we were doing. Spending time in Dubai, meeting people across the Gulf, we saw how others could benefit from the type of advisory and consulting services Michael Bolla provided us. We discussed purchasing the rights to Sotheby’s Kuwait and now are officially partnered in this venture.”

Our Focus

Our focus is to provide family offices and international investors with outstanding property advisory services.

We are investment counsellors for residential acquisitions, offering the same degree of detailed financial underwriting that is usually produced to evaluate commercial or multi-family assets. We also provide sellers of properties that meet our valuation standards with direct access to clients in the Gulf.
