Taipas 85 Development | Heritage, Exclusivity and Modernity

Situated in one of the most iconic areas of Porto’s historic centre, Rua das Taipas 85 is an exclusive regeneration project that combines the charm of traditional architecture with the sophistication of contemporary construction. Scheduled for completion in the summer of 2028, this development preserves the building’s historic façade whilst completely renovating the interiors to provide high standards of comfort, efficiency and quality of life. The development has been designed as a true urban retreat, offering residents distinctive communal spaces, such as a co-working space and bicycle parking; the project’s crowning glory is an exclusive, private rooftop with a panoramic viewpoint situated atop the historic medieval wall, known as the Fernandina (14th century). From this exclusive terrace, the view takes in the historic slopes of Invicta, stretches as far as the banks and cellars of Gaia, and follows the serene course of the River Douro. A panoramic setting framed by the sky, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day and contemplating the unique light of a city steeped in history. An exclusive collection of studios and family flats, where each floor plan has been carefully designed to maximise natural light, contemporary comfort and functionality; as a result, even the smallest flats feature private storage areas, a bonus that optimises both space and practicality within the home. The finishes reflect a high standard of quality and attention to detail. Highlights include solid wood flooring from Riga Nova, fully fitted kitchens with Siemens iQ300 appliances, Silestone worktops, wooden window frames with high-performance thermal and acoustic double glazing, certified security doors, reinforced thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as bathrooms fitted with ROCA wall-hung sanitaryware, minimalist-design taps and materials of international renown. Rua das Taipas 85 represents a unique opportunity for those seeking to live in the heart of Porto or to invest in a property of high architectural quality, where the city’s authenticity blends with the comfort and high standards of contemporary living.
