ORVENA is led by Antony Neilson, a property and construction professional with over 35 years of hands-on experience across the industry.

Having built and operated multiple successful businesses, Antony’s career spans the full lifecycle of construction and development—from small-scale residential works to large, complex projects including apartment buildings, multi-unit developments, and schemes that have contributed to the creation of entirely new communities and postcodes.

Antony’s background is defined by practical experience and consistent execution.

Over the course of more than three decades, he has been directly involved in:

• Residential extensions and refurbishments 
• Bespoke villa construction 
• Apartment blocks and multi-unit developments 
• Large-scale residential, commercial & industrial schemes 

This breadth of experience provides a deep understanding of construction, project management, and the commercial realities of development.

Beyond construction, Antony is an experienced entrepreneur who has built and scaled multiple businesses across the UK, Spain, and internationally.

This commercial mindset is embedded within ORVENA—ensuring that every development is approached not only from a construction perspective, but with a clear focus on viability, efficiency, and long-term value.

Now based in Marbella, Antony brings his experience to one of Europe’s most competitive and dynamic property markets.

His focus is on identifying opportunities within the Costa del Sol that combine strong design potential with sound investment fundamentals—delivering developments that meet the expectations of both international buyers and investors.

ORVENA is a founder-led business, with Antony maintaining a direct and active role across all stages of the development process along with his team of Project & Contract managers.

From acquisition and planning through to construction and delivery, this hands-on approach ensures that every project reflects the standards, discipline, and experience that define the company.

Antony’s vision for ORVENA is clear:

To establish a trusted, high-quality development brand in Marbella, delivering modern, design-led projects that combine strong construction, intelligent planning, and long-term value.
