About this place
In a “classified” building, built at the end of the century. 18th century, uniquely located, between Baixa de Lisboa and Alfama, is this commercial space, with a wide front facing the Tagus River, consisting of two stores and an over-store, totaling 250m m2. The building that integrates this space, shares the design of the main façade, with the adjoining property, with continuous terrace at the first floor level, much to the taste of the time, being an integral part of a heterogeneous urban front, symbol of the beauty and historical uniqueness of "Campo das Cebolas", Given the patrimonial value of these properties, as well as the need for their requalification and valorization, was presented to the City Hall of Lisbon a project of joint alterations for expansion of the construction area, with unification of the façade and adaptation of the interiors to commerce and housing. With excellent conditions for restoration, with terrace on the ground floor and terrace (1st floor), this space is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for real estate investment in the most important area of historical and urban interest in Lisbon.
