Lisbon expands its affordable housing supply
Lisbon City Council (CML) will move forward with the construction of a new affordable housing building near Jardim da Estrela. The project includes 11 municipal homes, helping to increase the supply of housing for families seeking more affordable living solutions.
The building will be constructed on a currently vacant plot on Rua do Jardim à Estrela and is part of the Dispersed Building Intervention Plan, which aims to regenerate urban spaces and transform them into new housing opportunities.
New building will include 11 homes
The future building will have three floors and include different housing types, meeting a variety of needs. It will feature studio apartments (T0) and two-bedroom apartments (T2), distributed across the three floors, as well as technical areas, storage rooms and support facilities.
The project will be awarded through a public tender, with a base investment of more than €1.4 million, plus VAT at the applicable legal rate. The expected construction period is 515 days, with completion depending on the various stages of the procurement and construction process.
More housing to meet demand
The construction of this new affordable housing building represents another investment in expanding municipal housing in Lisbon. Increasing the supply of homes remains one of the city's priorities in response to strong housing demand.
In addition to providing new homes, the project will regenerate a previously unused site, promoting urban renewal and making better use of municipal assets.
With new affordable housing projects, Lisbon aims to expand the options available to residents facing difficulties in accessing housing, while responding to the need for more affordable housing solutions adapted to current market conditions.
