It should be recalled that the statistics of the INE are based on the median of the values of the deeds concluded. This choice of the median means that the LQGLFDWRULVOHVVLQµXHQFHGE\WKHH[WUHPHYDOXHVRIWKHXQLYHUVHRI transactions.

Porto, by contrast, continued to show high growth rates, which may be linked to the above-mentioned lag in the completion of deeds, as the city's redevelopment activity has always lagged behind that of Lisbon.

Urbanisation of the Quinta dos Ingleses

The mega-development facing Carcavelos beach and next to the Universidade Nova will be located in an area of 51 hectares, and will include residential buildings, commerce and services, a hotel, a green park and other collective equipment. However, the authorisation of this project is being strongly contested due to the expected reduction of the green area in the zone.

The rehabilitation of the block known as Pombaline Rossio, in Lisbon, is about to get underway. After years of being thought of as another hotel project, the developer JCKL 3RUWXJDO,QYHVWLPHQWRV,PRELOLiULRV/GD RZQHGE\DQLQWHUQDWLRQDO*OREDO)DPLO\2I´FH has chosen to transform it into a new quality commercial centre of attraction for Lisbon residents and visitors. The works have an estimated timeframe of 2 years. It is perhaps the most emblematic project of the Downtown Pombaline area, given its centrality, scale and architectural style. The block of buildings that used to house the iconic pastry shop Suíça and Casa da Sorte, in Rossio, will be converted into a huge commercial space. The project foresees that more than half of the total area, between six to seven thousand m2, will be occupied by the space. The developer, JCKL Portugal, points to the year 2023 for the end of the work.
