The Portuguese city’s crumbling period residences are being redeveloped to feed demand from western European buyers

The
ornate 18th-century Palácio Chiado in central Lisbon, which reopened
this spring following a two-year renovation, is emblematic of Lisbon’s
revival. Now home to seven restaurants, a bar and private dining rooms,
the Palácio is brimming with wealthy Lisboetas and expats alike.
Similarly, after decades of decline, Lisbon’s city centre has become a
bustling, upmarket hub, with new cafés and boutiques opening and
international brands such as Cartier, Prada and Bulgari launching
stores.The appetite for rejuvenation has affected the residential market too. Period homes that had been abandoned and were crumbling away as wealthy Portuguese moved into modern houses with better facilities in suburbs, such as Estoril and Cascais, are now among the most sought after in the capital.
Stone Capital has 12 developments under way, including several in the central Chiado district and others on Avenida Liberdade, often referred to as Lisbon’s Champs-Elysées thanks to its upmarket shops. At Liberdade 12, a late 18th-century property is being converted into 27 apartments with underground parking, gardens and terraces. Three-bedroom flats are being sold there off plan from €1.8m.

Athena Advisers, an international property investment company that
began working in Lisbon in 2008, is marketing a range of developments in
the city centre. These include Conde 35 in the embassy district of
Lapa, featuring 12 apartments with river views, parking and gardens.
Prices range from €350,000 for a one-bedroom flat to €985,000 for a
three-bedroom one. The same company is selling the 17 apartments at
Liberdade 71, all of which have access to a communal roof terrace and
pool. The top-priced units are four-bedroom duplexes, on sale for €3.5m.
The development is scheduled to be completed in March 2018.“The property market in Lisbon only started to develop a buzz in 2014, but it’s in the last six months that we’ve seen a big rise in numbers of investors,” says Roman Carel, Athena’s founder. According to the company’s own research, prices in prime locations in Lisbon rose 22 per cent in 2015, while inquiries jumped 30 per cent in the first quarter of this year.
According to local agents, most buyers are based in western Europe, in particular French, Swiss and Swedish investors, who are buying property in Portugal because of the country’s tax-friendly non-habitual residents (NHR) programme. This offers people who are moving to the country for the first time reduced tax rates or tax exemption for 10 years on certain income. “The NHR scheme is attracting European executives, who are moving here with their families,” says Frédéric Desage-Bonnet, of developer Ran Capital. In his experience, buyers tend to be aged between their late 30s and late 40s. “It’s not the over-65s,” he says. In Lisbon, Ran Capital is redeveloping Sacramento 28 in Chiado, where a three-bedroom apartment is priced, off plan, at €1.85m.

Yet as demand grows, the existing housing stock is running out. “If
you are happy to buy off plan there are quite a few opportunities in
Lisbon. But if you want an existing property with a view and a terrace
in a prime location, it’s no longer easy to find,” says Miguel Tilli,
co-founder of HomeLovers, a Lisbon estate agent, which is selling a
three-bedroom, 620sq metre duplex in São Vicente with traditional
hand-painted azulejo tiles for €1.6m.While sales are up in the centre, outer areas — especially those linked to the domestic market — are still suffering. Unemployment is falling but remains high, hovering at about 12 per cent, and home prices in some areas are still 10 per cent below their pre-crisis peak.

For now, locals are largely pleased to see the centre of their city
come alive again, with an uplift in service-sector jobs. But as
affordability for locals becomes a bigger issue, it remains to be seen
whether being priced out of the heart of their own capital by
international buyers will generate a backlash.Buying guide

Lisbon: tiles ahead
When the 1755 earthquake destroyed most of Lisbon, the seismic shock was so extreme it generated a tsunami that reached the Caribbean, writes Melissa Lawford. It also began a revolution in the city’s architecture.Azulejos, the brightly glazed ceramic tiles first brought to Portugal in the 16th century by the Moors, originally only decorated palaces. But they were cheaper than stone. After the earthquake, demand for cost-effective materials rose rapidly and Lisbon quickly became a radiant mosaic.
Originally a roof-tile factory, Sant’Anna was soon making nothing but azulejos. Although it is 275 years since the company was founded, electric kilns are the only innovation it has introduced in that time. The clay is shaped, air-dried and then fired at 1,100C before it can be painted. Sant’Anna workers use the Dutch majolica technique, hand-painting designs over a white-glaze background. Many of the company’s 45 artisans have been working there since leaving school. “It’s like they breathe tiles,” says Francisco Tomás, the sales manager.
Azulejos spread across the globe with the Portuguese empire and can today be found adorning buildings from Brazil to Macau. While other aspects of colonial legacy fade, “the tile will be the links of Portuguese government all over the world”, says Tomás. Sant’Anna is now working on a number of global restoration projects, including a school in Angola. Along with government money, Sant’Anna’s Portuguese public-sector work dried up during the recession but the company was not hit hard, Tomás says. It caters primarily to private clients and exports 85 per cent of its tiles.
Tile-maker Viúva Lamego, founded in 1849, also maintains traditional techniques but since the 1930s has focused on working with contemporary artists. Their tiles decorate Maria Keil’s bold murals in Lisbon — the work often credited with rejuvenating the azulejo as a modern art form.
