Studio apartment in Porto's Historic Center - Taipas 85

Inserted in one of the most emblematic areas of Porto’s historic center, Rua das Taipas 85 is an exclusive rehabilitation project that combines the charm of traditional architecture with the sophistication of contemporary construction.

Scheduled for completion in Summer 2028, this development preserves the building’s historic façade, while fully renovating the interiors to provide high standards of comfort, efficiency, and quality of life.

The development was designed as a true urban retreat, offering residents distinctive common areas such as a coworking space, bicycle parking, and the project’s main hallmark: an exclusive, private rooftop / panoramic viewpoint set atop the historic medieval Fernandine wall (14th century). From this exclusive terrace, the view embraces the historic slopes of Porto, stretches to the riverbanks and wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, and follows the serene course of the Douro River. A panoramic setting framed by the sky, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day and contemplating the unique light of a city that breathes history.

An exclusive collection of studios and family apartments, where each layout has been carefully planned to maximize natural light, contemporary comfort, and functionality; therefore, the smaller units include private storage areas, an added value that optimizes space and practicality in the home.

This is the case of this unit: a studio (T0) facing the street, on the 2nd floor, with 34.40 m² of usable area, complemented by an additional storage room of 6.5 m² on the ground floor of the building.

The finishes reflect a high level of quality and attention to detail. Highlights include solid Riga Nova wood flooring, fully equipped kitchens with Siemens iQ300 appliances, Silestone countertops, wooden window frames with high-performance thermal and acoustic double glazing, air conditioning, certified security doors, reinforced thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as bathrooms fitted with ROCA wall-hung sanitaryware, minimalist-design taps, and internationally recognized materials.

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 is combined with the comfort and standards of contemporary living.
