Mama Shelter Residences

Founded by the Trigano family, the brand shook up the hospitality world with a daring ‘urban refuge‘ concept in 2008, starting with its first, in Paris’ off-beat 20th district. ‘Mama’ quickly became synonymous with generosity, nurturing hospitality and just a sprinkling of cheekiness. Since then, she has extended her embrace across three continents, nine countries and fourteen cities, with more openings in the pipeline as a trusted and growing global hospitality brand, part of Ennismore.

Kasada is an independent real estate private equity platform dedicated to hospitality in Sub-Saharan Africa, advised by Kasada Capital Management part of the Kasada group. We are committed to generating sustainable, positive impact in the African economies and communities we invest in. In April 2019, Kasada closed its first fund, Kasada Hospitality Fund L.P. (“Kasada”), with equity commitments of more than US$ 500 million.
