Grupo Boavida is an Angolan business conglomerate founded on December 8, 1996, by Mariusz Dowbor. Headquartered in Luanda, the group began its activities in the engineering and civil construction sector, later expanding into the medium and high-end real estate sector, agribusiness, and project management. Since 2014, the company has been led by Tomasz Dowbor and Wojciech Dowbor, sons of the founder, who are responsible for large-scale residential and commercial projects, such as Urbanização Boa Vida and Cidade Boa Vida.
History Grupo Boavida originated with the creation of Poltec Investimentos, founded by engineer Mariusz Dowbor. The company began its activities in the engineering and construction sector, developing large-scale projects in the country.
In 2014, under the direction of Tomasz Dowbor and Wojciech Dowbor, Poltec Investimentos began the construction of Urbanização Boa Vida, a real estate project aimed at creating housing infrastructure in Luanda.
In 2016, the company diversified its activities into the agribusiness sector, with the aim of reducing dependence on imported food. With the expansion of the business, Poltec Investimentos was renamed Grupo Boavida, now as a conglomerate.
In 2020, facing a company crisis due to the devaluation of the kwanza, they launched the Cidade Boa Vida project, a planned city with areas dedicated to housing, commerce, education, and infrastructure, focusing on residential, commercial, and urban infrastructure areas.
Currently, Grupo Boavida operates in the sectors of engineering, construction, carpentry, and agribusiness in Angola. The company works with professionals from eight nationalities and six local dialects.
Managed projects The group develops residential and commercial projects, including condominiums such as Vereda das Flores, Real Park, Ville Vermont, Hipicus, Solida Plaza, and Infinity I and II. Among its ongoing projects are Urbanização Boa Vida and Cidade Boa Vida.

Currently, with approximately 3.5 million square meters of area, the development includes residences, urban equipment, and services.
