Flat T1

T1 with Mezzanine and River Views in Vila Nova de Gaia
Apartment located in a fully restored building, directly facing the Douro River, with large windows and high-quality finishes. A project that captures the charm of Gaia’s streets and offers unobstructed views, providing comfort and natural light for a practical and relaxed lifestyle.
Cais da Pescaria is located on the western bank of the river, along the route toward the river mouth and Douro Marina. This riverside area features pedestrian walkways and cycle paths, where it is still possible to occasionally find amateur fishermen, even before reaching Afurada, a traditional fishing district well known among locals for its fish restaurants.
Beyond Afurada lie Afurada Beach and, finally, the Atlantic Ocean and the westernmost continental sunset in Europe.
On the banks of the Douro River, in the city of Gaia, overlooking the stunning and colorful landscape of Porto, the Pescaria project comes to life. This is a rehabilitation project that offers quick and convenient access to Porto, combining the charm of Gaia and its magical riverside streets. The development includes 18 residential units, 2 commercial units, and 8 parking spaces.
The building maintains a direct relationship with the river and was formerly an industrial structure where wooden barrels for Port wine were manufactured. As an industrial building, it originally featured large spans but few windows. The project therefore focused on opening new window openings, creating improved views and greater natural light. This process was carried out with great care for the surrounding context, following an in-depth study of the area and similar buildings, ensuring full and non-disruptive integration into the urban landscape. The same attention was given to the choice of façade colors, materials, and window frames, respecting the tradition of Gaia’s riverside industrial architecture.
The building comprises 20 units—2 commercial and 18 residential—and includes 8 parking spaces. All residential units are one-bedroom apartments, maximizing the available construction potential. To enhance the views, 12 of these units are duplex apartments, allowing river views directly from the bedrooms.
For all these reasons, combined with the rapid growth of Gaia’s real estate market, this project represents an excellent investment opportunity.
Furthermore, this is a unique property, as the riverfront areas of Porto and Gaia are currently highly protected, with very few opportunities for new construction.
