Renovation in the historic centre & ARU
Many investment buildings in Porto are located in the historic centre or in Urban Rehabilitation Areas (ARU). Renovation in these areas has construction particularities — elements to preserve, old layouts, and access constraints — that require a careful technical approach.
We follow the process with the City Council and inform the likely regime, but the final decision always lies with the municipal services.
Investor questions & answers
The cost depends on the area, the condition of the building, and the finish level, so a figure can only be given after the technical survey and the diagnosis of defects. Based on that diagnosis we deliver an itemised estimate to support the investment decision.
The timeline depends on the scope of the renovation and the licensing process. We provide a schedule in the proposal, with the works phases and the estimate to handover, without committing to deadlines we cannot meet.
We follow the process in what depends on the contract works and inform the likely route with the City Council. The final decision on the applicable regime always lies with the municipal services.
