RE Capital, the property company specialising in repurposed real estate in Europe’s cosmopolitan cities, has acquired a site in Cascais, Lisbon, with planning permission to develop 14 high-end apartments with a gross development value of €40m.

The project, known as Bellevue, is a joint venture between RE Capital and local developer Grupo Santo. This partnership comprises two high-end projects in one of the best locations in Cascais, spanning 11,300sqm above ground.

Bellevue will feature 14 unique apartments, designed by ARX Portugal – Arquitectos office, that aim to epitomise elegance and sophistication, with a focus on practicality and sustainability. The project promises to deliver a residential experience that underscores quality modern living, while setting new benchmarks in luxury residential living, RE Capital said.

Nuno Santos, head of Portugal at RE Capital, said: “Cascais offers a world of wonder for travellers seeking an authentic and unforgettable experience. From the colourful fishing villages to the visually striking beaches – every corner of Cascais is a feast for the senses. Historic demand for this area sends a clear signal to investors that this is an opportunity rife for growth.”
