The new Norwegian owner of the Sa Fortaleza estate in Puerto Pollensa has asked for planning permission to carry out improvement work after his 63 million euro purchase. Ivar Erik Tollefsen, bought the property from British banker Lord James Lupton. The purchase is believed to have taken place last summer.

Sa Fortaleza was made famous for its part in the hugely successful BBC1 series The Night Manager. It was also the venue for the wedding of Rafa Nadal to his childhood sweetheart, Xisca Perello. Welsh international footballer, Gareth Bale, also got married there.

According to Forbes, Real estate investor Ivar Tollefsen started his first company at age 14, Tollefsen Enterprises, which rented out DJ-services and event equipment. With the earnings from his disco business he began building a real estate empire, now called Fredensborg AS. Fredensborg owns 100,000 apartments across Europe and, in 2017, bought an Oslo building that used to house the U.S. embassy.

Tollefsen has led several polar expeditions and has competed in the Dakar Rally.
