Context: How Bolsa de Valores de Caracas works, and what it makes issuers disclose · Venezuela on the LatAm Power Map
Inmuebles B. de V.
1985, C.A. is one of Venezuela’s most opaque listed companies: a real-estate vehicle born inside Banco de Venezuela forty years ago, still on the Caracas stock exchange’s rolls, yet effectively invisible to outside investors — no financial statements surface publicly, and the share does not appear in the exchange’s live trading board.

What it is
Inmuebles B. de V.
1985, C.A. buys, sells and rents real estate, and conducts its operations through the capital market.
The “B. de V.” in its name stands for Banco de Venezuela, the state-owned universal bank — the company was created as that bank’s property-holding arm and is physically based in its Caracas tower.
Its activities are classified under both securities and commodity exchanges and real-estate property management; it is primarily engaged in the purchase, sale and rental of real estate, while also operating on the capital markets. In plain terms: it is a property company that holds and manages real-estate assets, listed on the stock exchange for more than four decades.
Who owns it
In 2008, Venezuela’s securities regulator (then known as CNV, now SUNAVAL) recorded a formal public takeover bid — an Oferta Pública de Toma de Control — for 19% of Inmuebles B. de V.
1985, C.A.’s share capital. That regulatory filing confirms the company was then subject to Venezuelan takeover rules, meaning its shares were genuinely dispersed enough to attract a bid.
The company’s registered address inside the Edificio Banco de Venezuela and its corporate name both point to a deep institutional link with Banco de Venezuela, which since 2009 has been a state-owned bank controlled by the Venezuelan government. Current ownership percentages, the identity of the controlling shareholder, and any free-float figure are not disclosed in available sources — neither BVC nor SUNAVAL publish this detail on their public-access pages.
Who runs it
The names of the chief executive, chairman and chief financial officer are not disclosed in available sources. No investor-relations page, no annual report, and no regulatory filing surfaced in a thorough search of BVC, SUNAVAL, and business-press databases.
The company’s registered contact address is Av. Universidad, Esq.
de Sociedad, Edif. Banco de Venezuela, Piso 16, Distrito Metropolitano de Caracas.
That physical location — inside Banco de Venezuela’s main tower — suggests day-to-day management remains tightly integrated with its founding institution.
The money, in plain words
No revenue, profit, total assets, return on equity, or price-to-earnings ratio can be reported here: audited financial statements for Inmuebles B. de V.
1985, C.A. are not available from any public-access source, including BVC’s filing section and SUNAVAL’s document repository.
The company pays no dividends to its shareholders, which removes the one financial signal that markets typically receive even in the absence of full accounts.
Venezuela’s currency, the bolívar soberano (VES), is deeply distorted by hyperinflation and capital controls — the official rate used here is 1 USD = 698.47 VES — which makes any locally reported figures near-impossible to compare with prior years without seeing the full accounting treatment.
What it is doing now
IBV does not appear in the Bolsa de Valores de Caracas’s live trading board as of 9 July 2026: the exchange’s active session lists 33 tickers across Venezuelan equities, and IBV is absent from that list. The company does appear on the BVC’s historical records page, consistent with a security that remains registered but rarely if ever trades.
No material corporate announcement — deal, earnings release, leadership change, or regulatory action — has surfaced in any source for the 2024–2026 period. The most recent regulatory event on record is the 2008 takeover bid noted by SUNAVAL.
What to watch
- Disclosure: Venezuela’s securities regulator SUNAVAL has pushed listed companies toward greater reporting since 2020; any mandatory filing of a memoria anual (annual report) would be the first public window into revenues and assets.
- Banco de Venezuela’s footprint: Banco de Venezuela itself began a share-listing process on the BVC in 2022; any restructuring of its property-holding subsidiaries — including IBV — would affect this company directly.
- Trading resumption: The share last traded at a price not confirmed in public data; any return to the active board would be an early signal of renewed investor interest or a privatisation move.
- Currency risk: With the bolívar subject to official rate management at 698.47 VES per USD, any reported figures in VES require careful conversion — and any devaluation would slash the USD value of local-currency assets overnight.
