Renovated Riverside Apartments and Commercial Spaces on the Douro riverbank, Gaia

Prices from  € 295,380 £ 257,324 $ 346,239

This fully refurbished mixed-use building is located on a traditional riverside street in Vila Nova de Gaia, one of the most dynamic districts of the Porto metropolitan area. Positioned along the Douro riverfront, the property benefits from protected surroundings, open views, and immediate proximity to Porto’s historic centre.

The project comprises 18 one-bedroom residential apartments and 2 ground-floor commercial units, offering a balanced combination of residential and retail income potential — particularly attractive for investors seeking diversification within a single asset.

Residential Units

The apartments include both single-level and duplex layouts, designed to maximise natural light and views. Interior finishes were selected for durability, comfort, and ease of maintenance, making the units suitable for rental or second-home use. Features include:

  • Equipped kitchens with integrated stainless-steel sink and mixer tap

  • Modern bathrooms with wall-hung sanitary ware, walk-in shower trays, and concealed systems

  • Air conditioning in all units

  • Durable flooring and clean, contemporary interior finishes

Several apartments benefit from river views, reinforcing their long-term rental and resale appeal.

Commercial Units

The two ground-floor commercial spaces offer flexible layouts suitable for retail, services, or professional use, benefiting from:

  • Direct street visibility on a riverside pedestrian axis

  • Strong foot traffic from residents, tourists, and riverfront visitors

  • Proximity to restaurants, wine cellars, and leisure areas

These units provide an opportunity for stable rental income or owner-occupation, complementing the residential component of the building.

Building & Common Areas

Common areas are finished with high-quality stone and concrete materials, ensuring a robust, low-maintenance environment. The refurbishment respects the area’s industrial heritage while upgrading the building to modern technical standards. Private parking spaces are included — a rare advantage in this location.

Location & Lifestyle

Set in a historic riverfront zone of Gaia, the property faces Porto’s UNESCO-listed centre and sits within walking distance of:

  • Port wine cellars and wine-tourism attractions

  • Riverside promenades, cafés, and restaurants

  • Cable car access and panoramic viewpoints

  • Iconic bridges connecting directly to Porto

The area benefits from continued public investment and improved transport links, supporting long-term value appreciation.

  • Scarce riverside location with limited future supply
