Porto's New €150M Development Signals Hot Investment Market
Foreign investors looking at Porto should note the rapid success of the Fernão Magalhães 127 development. This €150 million mixed-use project has sold 75% of its first-phase residential units within a year, a clear indicator of the high demand for quality housing in a strategic, central Porto neighborhood. The project's success provides a valuable blueprint for what the modern Portuguese market desires.
What Foreign Investors Need to KnowDeveloped by AVENUE, this project combines 334 apartments with offices and retail, creating a vibrant, self-contained community. "This project reflects our commitment to enhancing Porto's urban fabric and reinforcing the centrality of a strategic location," says AVENUE's CEO, Aniceto Viegas. For an investor, the key takeaway is the proven appeal of amenity-rich, sustainable, and well-connected properties. The inclusion of a gym, Padel court, coworking spaces, and 24h security are major draws for both rental tenants and long-term buyers, ensuring high occupancy and strong resale value.
Actionable Steps for Today's Buyer- Invest in Amenities: Modern buyers in Portugal prioritize lifestyle. Properties with comprehensive amenities like gyms, green spaces, and coworking areas command higher prices and rental rates.
