The developer Krest Real Estate Investments chose the "Salão Imobiliário de Portugal" (SIL) as the stage for the launch of three new projects. Portimão, Lisbon and Paço de Arcos were the locations chosen for the Belgian developer's new residential projects.
These projects represent a total investment of 153 million euros, corresponding to an area of 63.400 square meters of construction, which will involve more than 500 jobs in the areas of construction, design and future management of the buildings and their structures.
"We are looking forward to 2024 and the evolution of the Portuguese property market, in which we are increasingly involved through our interaction with local architectural, engineering and construction partners, as well as with local authorities and communities", emphasises Claude Kandiyoti, Krest's Chief Servant Officer.
He adds that "we are presenting our new projects that represent an important investment, create value in Lisbon, Paço de Arcos and Alvor and contribute to the sustainability of these locations in Portugal. They not only attract and serve the new residents, but also the local community, through services, leisure areas, spaces to enjoy nature, thus integrating a strong component of environmental sustainability, but also social sustainability."
