The tallest building in the country – it will supplant the 26-story residential tower being developed in Lisbon – will also have “the most expensive apartments” in Portugal, the official said. In his accounts, the price per square meter of these residences, which will offer all the amenities of a hotel with the privilege of being at home, will be around seven thousand euros. The brand residences will have between 40 and 100 square meters and will be managed by a luxury hotel brand (still in the secret of the gods), and this is Fortera’s first project focused on foreign investors. For this, it is also not unrelated to the fact that the development has the signature of the architect Souto Moura, winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2011.

Established in 2015 and with 10 projects completed, essentially in Porto, Fortera has expanded its sphere of activity in the North region, having also invested in Espinho and Braga. In the latter city, the group has already approved the intervention in the Convento do Carmo, which will receive a four-star hotel with 71 rooms. In Espinho, Elad Drod is committed to building large-scale residential projects. In this city, Fortera acquired a land with 46 thousand square meters to develop projects that connect housing and services. Meanwhile, the manager is looking at other municipalities bordering Porto, such as Maia and Gondomar. For Invicta there are no plans for new investments, because there are already few opportunities.
