Studio apartment in Porto's Historic Center - Taipas 85

Set 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 deliver high standards of comfort, efficiency, and quality of life.

The development was conceived as a true urban refuge, 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 takes in the historic hillsides 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 steeped in history.

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

This is the case with this unit, a studio (T0) on the 1st floor, with 36 m² of usable area, complemented by an additional 8 m² storage room on the ground floor of the building. It features a full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and access to an outdoor area for the unit’s exclusive use, as shown on the floor plan.

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 sanitary ware, 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 invest in a property of high architectural quality, where the city’s authenticity meets the comfort and standards of contemporary living.
