The first edition of the Ponto Urbano Experience event took place on November 5th, an initiative that welcomed 400 guests, including clients, employees, suppliers, and friends.

This event served as the stage for presenting the real estate developer’s portfolio, which features projects in Aveiro, Ílhavo, Praia da Barra, Praia da Costa Nova, Praia da Vagueira, Espinho, Porto, Coimbra, Lisbon, Comporta, and the Algarve.

The main highlight of the event was the sensory awakening, which, through a creative concept, stimulated taste, hearing, and vision, providing immersive moments.

A unique immersive experience allowed guests to discover Ponto Urbano’s main ongoing developments from an unprecedented perspective, while the rest of the space showcased its portfolio, reflecting 9 years of rigor and quality.

With a focus on the future, the company revealed the launch of Ponto Urbano Indústria and the start of its activity in the tourism sector with Ponto Urbano Turismo and its new projects: Almaa da Ria, do Vouga, and do Douro.

The high turnout underscores Ponto Urbano’s solidity and reaffirms the strong confidence the market places in the brand.

The Ponto Urbano Experience went beyond a mere celebration, solidifying the company’s position as a benchmark in the real estate sector, focused on delivering excellent developments in prime locations.

In a city that is changing, Ponto Urbano continues to keep pace with Aveiro’s growth. Located in an area under renovation, the Legato Nóbrega project is just a few metres from the Ria of Aveiro.
With two buildings, each with four floors, the contemporary architecture blends harmoniously with its surroundings. Inside, the cosy and modern apartments are divided into several types. From one-bedroom to three-bedroom Implex apartments, these apartments are available in sizes between 54 and 123m².

Inspired by the legacy and sound of Carlos Nóbrega e Sousa, the famous composer from Aveiro of songs such as ‘Sobe, sobe, balão sobe’ (Up, up, balloon up), the Legato Nóbrega project was born from the fusion between music and architecture.
In addition to this legacy, ‘Legato’ is also a musical notation indicated in the score by a curved line, which requires a series of notes to be played in a smooth, interconnected manner. This characteristic also refers to the existence of two buildings in this project.

Close to the estuary and just a few metres from the city centre, Legato Nóbrega combines its concept with a privileged location, marked by tranquillity, comfort and quick access to several services such as:

• EB1 das Barrocas School (1 min)

• Gym (2 min)

• EB1-2-3 Esgueira (4 min)

• Supermarket (5 min)

• CP Station (6 min)

‘In tune with the city,’ Legato Nóbrega sets the pace for a new urban area in Aveiro. It is also another example of Ponto Urbano’s quality and rigour and the brand’s respect for the city’s history. Project after project, Ponto Urbano also reflects its desire to continue growing together with the city of Aveiro, through a diverse offer of housing.

Choosing a home is not just about choosing a place to live, it is about choosing how we want to live. Nowadays, when looking for a property, there are some features that usually deserve special attention. All of them, in addition to adding value to the home, also combine practicality, comfort and longevity.

Some of these features are:

Location
A determining factor in many purchases, location continues to be at the top of the list of most sought-after features. The preference is to live close to services, transport, schools and shops.
Thus, the time saved in commuting increases the quality of life.
In addition to the main services, many buyers also prefer to be close to green, quiet and safe areas.
A good location also tends to increase the value of the property in the future.

Efficiency and comfort
Homes with quality insulation, sustainable energy solutions or high energy certification are increasingly sought after. Features such as these mean lower monthly expenses and less maintenance. They also reflect a growing environmental awareness among buyers.

Areas
Beyond the importance attributed to the type of property, buyers increasingly value layouts with well-designed rooms, good natural lighting and integrated common areas. Often, demand also focuses on multifunctional environments that are suitable for teleworking and/or the arrival of children.

Outdoor space
From large balconies to landscaped areas, outdoor space is now seen as an extension of the interior. Essential for the whole family, having a large outdoor space allows you not only to relax in the tranquillity of your home but also to socialise with friends and family in the open air.

Whatever feature you are looking for, at Ponto Urbano you will find all these criteria in our projects. From apartments to villas, our portfolio is designed to suit different preferences and lifestyles. Here, each home is designed to offer time, comfort and tranquillity. This is combined with the quality and rigour we put into every project we undertake. With views of the estuary, close to the beach, with a swimming pool or a large balcony, Ponto Urbano has unique solutions to meet the current demands of the market.

Living near the sea is, for many, a dream and an option increasingly considered by those seeking a better quality of life.
At Ponto Urbano, there are two buildings that stand out for being very close to the beach: Difference and Terrae. But what makes homes in beach areas so sought after?

Well-being and quality of life
Proximity to the beach is often associated with a greater sense of tranquillity. The sea breeze and natural light, for example, create an environment that promotes rest. For many, living near the sea is synonymous with well-being and a calmer, but also revitalising, lifestyle.

Active and healthy lifestyle
Walking or cycling by the sea or even practising a water sport. Coastal areas offer countless opportunities for a more active and healthy daily life. For those who want to escape the intense pace of the city and prioritise an outdoor lifestyle, a house by the beach is the right choice.

An investment with a return
In addition to the benefits already mentioned, many Portuguese and foreigners choose beach areas as their destination of choice in the summer. Therefore, investing in a property located in these areas can be an excellent source of seasonal income.

No matter your lifestyle or age, a beachfront home is always a good investment, whether it’s money or your health and well-being. Living by the sea can be a dream come true for families, young couples, or retirees.

At Ponto Urbano, the Difference and Terrae buildings stand out for their proximity to the beach. In Vagueira, you will find Difference, a building constructed with Ponto Urbano quality, where you can live surrounded by the estuary and the sea. In Espinho, you will find the private Terrae condominium, where you can enjoy modern apartments and an outdoor area with a swimming pool, garden and social area.

In our portfolio, proximity to the beach is a constant. In addition to these two buildings, there are others located in Aveiro, just a few minutes from the famous beaches of Costa Nova and Barra.More than just a summer dream, living near the beach can be a choice with a future.

Next to the banks of the River Mondego stands Voluta, a building that combines the historic charm of the city of Coimbra with Ponto Urbano’s residential solutions.
This project, consisting of three floors, nine apartments and a store with outdoor space, guarantees a modern and serene environment. Each apartment has a private garage and balconies ideal for enjoying the surrounding views.

The 1 and 2 bedroom apartments are designed for all lifestyles, with areas ranging from 59m² to 110m². The interiors stand out for their contemporary finishes and intelligent optimization of spaces, guaranteeing total comfort and natural light in every room.

Located at the intersection of Avenida da Guarda Inglesa and Rua Coelho da Rocha, the project stands out for its proximity to the River Mondego and essential services/institutions for day-to-day life in the city. Here, you have everything you need just a few meters from home:

• Supermarket (1 min)
• Escola Básica Poeta Manuel da Silva Gaio (2 min)
• Faculdade de Ciências do Desporto e Educação Física da Universidade de Coimbra (4 min)
• Fórum Coimbra ( 3 min)

With this project, Ponto Urbano is consolidating its presence in the real estate markets of central and northern Portugal. In Coimbra, a city steeped in tradition, Voluta is yet another example of the excellence of the Ponto Urbano brand, where rigorous design and quality construction go hand in hand.

Espinho welcomes a new private condominium signed by Ponto Urbano.
From Rua de Santo António to Travessa do Pinhal Novo, Terrae is a project born from theunion of two buildings. This new private condominium merges with its surroundinglandscape and offers its residents a unique space where ‘living’ takes on more meaning.

Inspired by its terracotta colour and connection with nature, Terrae has 20 flats across two 3-storey buildings. With 1, 2 and 3 bedroom typologies, the apartments range from 50m2 to 135m2. They also have generous balconies or terraces.
Outside, Terrae’s design leads residents to a large garden with a swimming pool, lounge area and barbecue.

This private condominium combines nature with well-being and tranquillity. Its locations also offers quick access to key services and institutions, including:
– Schools (Sá Couto) (2 min)
– Municipal swimming pool (3 min)
– Supermarket (4 min)
– Hospital (4 min)

With Terrae, Ponto Urbano continues to grow and strengthen its presence in the real estate market in the centre and north of the country. Known for its beaches, numbered streets and tranquillity, the city of Espinho is now home to this private condominium. This is yet another project characterised by the quality of Ponto Urbano’s construction.

Choosing the space where we live reflects our needs and lifestyle more and more. Nowadays, a home is much more than a place to rest. It’s a place to work, socialise and where much of our lives take place. That’s why the way it’s organised can be key when it comes to buying it. But between open space or ‘traditional’ rooms, which is the best choice?

Two ways, different ways of living
Without physical barriers, open space is becoming more and more popular. This option provides spaciousness, continuity and light. With spaces being better utilised and opened up, the interaction between family members becomes more spontaneous.
Despite this, this type of layout brings challenges: the lack of separation means less privacy and noise or smells can spread more easily. Open spaces require even more discipline in terms of organisation and storage.
Designed to create more ‘controlled’ environments, traditional rooms offer a different perspective on the home. Unlike open spaces, this option can work well, for example, for families with different routines. However, this model can make spaces more closed off and limit flexibility of use.

What if you don’t have to choose?
In contemporary architecture, flexibility is increasingly valued. That’s why many projects are no longer limited to a single model, allowing you to choose a hybrid solution. In addition, objects such as sliding doors, removable partitions, modern screens or glass panels allow you to reorganise to your preference. This approach combines the best of both worlds: the fluidity and luminosity of open space with the functionality and privacy of traditional rooms.

At Ponto Urbano, our buildings are created with the client’s comfort and well-being in mind. Each project presents flexible architectural solutions. More than choosing a specific model, today’s architecture proposes spaces that evolve in a versatile way and keep pace with everyday life.

Residential architecture has undergone significant transformations. These changes reflect not only the evolution of people’s needs but also ongoing technological and socio-cultural advancements. More and more, homes are designed to offer well-being, efficiency, and greater sustainability—serving the interests of both the industry and the buyers.

From Function to Comfort
Advancements over time have radically changed the concepts of space and functionality.
Buildings have become more adapted to urban needs, with interiors being planned more efficiently.
Today, residential architecture seeks a balance between quality, aesthetics and functionality, creating more comfortable, integrated spaces suited to modern lifestyles.
At Ponto Urbano, projects are designed with functional spaces that connect seamlessly.
The “open space” concept is also a key feature in our projects.

Sustainability in Construction
The way we organise interior spaces has revolutionised how we live. However, sustainability is also a result of the evolution of modern residential architecture.
A pillar of contemporary architecture, sustainability is implemented through the use of eco-friendly materials and smart construction solutions.
At Ponto Urbano, our goal is to minimize environmental impact as much as possible.
Here, each new building represents a step forward in refining sustainable construction practices.

Well-being and quality of life
A well-designed home can have a direct impact on residents’ quality of life. Bright, well-ventilated rooms with efficient spatial distribution contribute to well-being and productivity.
The use of natural elements like wood and the integration of green areas around homes are key to achieving the highly sought-after quality of life.
New realities, such as remote work, have driven changes in home design. The inclusion of office spaces and soundproofing solutions has become essential to ensure residents’ comfort and productivity.
At Ponto Urbano, we also prioritise buildings with glass façades and generous outdoor areas.

More than just buildings, we stay attuned to market needs and its continuous evolution.
Our portfolio includes buildings that reflect the latest trends in residential architecture.
From design to construction, precision and quality guide each transformation, not only to serve our clients but also to leave a lasting mark on the places we build.

Investing in high-quality real estate is always the right decision. In the long term, these properties tend to appreciate in value, providing an excellent return.
Comfort and security are some of the key features that add value to any property. However, there are other important factors to consider.

Prime location
Location is one of the most important factors when buying a property. Areas well served by transportation, commerce, services and leisure facilities attract more buyers and tenants, thereby increasing the property’s value.
At Ponto Urbano, building in prime locations is a permanent criterion.

Carefully selected materials
When high-quality materials are used, the property, the property becomes more durable and requires less maintenance. Additionally, premium finishes offer greater comfort and sophistication, making the home more attractive to the market.
From the structural work to the smallest details in finishes, our portfolio includes buildings designed and constructed with carefully selected materials that enhance the experience of being at home.

Infrastructure and amenities
Leisure areas, 24-hour security, and even gyms – modern allotment offer more and more amenities, increasing the property’s value and making ir more attractive to potential buyers.
For example, in the Páteo 1896 and Ethula projects you will find some of these amenities right on your doorstep. The former features a large outdoor garden and a swimming pool exclusively for residents, while the latter is surrounded by green spaces and just a short walk from the Ria de Aveiro.

Sustainability and technology
Sustainably built properties are becoming increasingly valuable.They reduce operating costs while also addressing growing environmental concerns.
In all of Ponto Urbano’s projects, sustainability is a key pillar. That’s why we use increasingly eco-friendly construction processes.

Whether for investors or families, purchasing a high-quality property ensures lower maintenance costs, greater long-term appreciation, and a a higher return on investment when reselling.

Buying a house is a real life goal for many people. However, this process involves several decisions. One of them is about which typology to choose and which is in line with your needs or desires.
In this article we’ll give you some tips on how to find the right one.

Young singles or couples without children
Living alone or as a couple can mean starting your adult life in a studio or one-bedroom apartment. With less expensive prices, houses of this type are also easier to maintain and are usually well located and close to work and social life.

Couples with young kids
The arrival of children requires more space. Two or three-bedroom houses allow you to have an extra room for the children and/or even for playing or working. Whether it’s a villa or flat, choosing a 2 or 3 bedroom house allows you to have larger areas, but without sacrificing comfort and functionality.

Families with teenage children
As children grow up, privacy can be a factor. In these cases, T3 and T4 apartments ensure that each member of the family has their own space. As well as the possibility of having one bedroom per person, these types also have larger common areas. In other words, there’s more space to spend with family and friends.

Middle-aged couples with children leaving home
When their children leave home, many families return to the market in search of a smaller home. As a rule, many choose two- or three-bedroom properties, so they have at least one more room available.

Seniors and retired people
In old age, comfort, functionality and accessibility become priorities. Some people prefer to stay in the house they bought after their children left home, or choose a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom apartment.
Other important decision factors are the upkeep of the house and choosing a location closer to essential services.
