LOVE
AT FIRST
SIGHT!
Falling in love when seeing this project in real life, or even in a photograph, is inevitable.
Besides being extremely well-thought-out and embedded within the landscape, both the apartments and the development as a whole satisfy all the needs and desires of modern life.
PARQUE
ÁGORA
DOURO
GAIA.
Eight buildings with a maximum of four or five storeys, more than 250 apartments ranging in size from studio to 5-bedroom, with spacious balconies, parking and storage.
A multipurpose space for open-air meetings and well-being, Ágora includes an amphitheatre and a commercial area with views towards the river and the city of Porto.
A group of four sites – Parque, Ágora, Douro and Gaia – are laid out harmoniously on the terrain and in relation to the surrounding landscape, reminiscent of the terraces in the Douro wine country.
This nature park is ideal for walking, enjoying a picnic or taking the children to play in the playground.
