MODERNITY AND ELEGANCE IN LISBON
CHIADO ∞ LISBON
UNIQUE APARTMENTS COMBINING MODERN & UNIQUE TRADITION & MODERNITY GLAMOUR & ELEGANCE IN LISBONʼS CHIADO Lisbon's most elegant and trendy neighborhood is where everyone meets for coffee, shopping, or before dinner and a night out in neighboring Bairro Alto. Most of the buildings are from the 18th century (many of them renovated in the 1990s by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira after their destruction by a devastating fire in 1988) but the neighborhood is a flashback to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the "Belle Époque" when writers such as Fernando Pessoa and Eça de Queiroz used to write at the now-historic cafés. This is also the neighborhood of theaters, charming old bookshops, local fashion designers and major international brands, giving it a lively cosmopolitan ambience at any time of the day. Perfectly integrated in its environment, Cordon 31, located in a quiet and popular Chiado is an emblematic building dating from 1801 and completely renovated while maintaining remarkable elements of its architectural heritage.

10 REASONS TO INVEST IN LISBON 1 LOCATION One of the main advantages of being in Lisbon is that it’s the closest European capital to the United States and to South America, particularly to booming Brazil. Lisbon also maintains privileged ties to its former African colonies, especially Angola. It’s also less than one hour away from Madrid with several flights every day, and about two and a half hours from Paris and London. Moreover, being on the edge of Europe also means that the ports of Lisbon, Sines and Setúbal are gateways to the old continent and to a market of 250 million Portuguese speakers around the world. 2 WEATHER With close to 300 days of sunshine throughout the year, no snow, and temperatures that never reach the freezing point, Lisbon is a truly blessed city. It’s great living in a place where you can have beach days in October or March, where you can sit comfortably outside at a café terrace in February, and where you don’t have to worry about the dangers of snow on the ground. 3 SAFETY Lisbon officially has the lowest homicide rate of any European capital and the lowest number of residents who have been victims of any crime in the previous five years, making it Europe’s safest capital. Naturally as a big city that doesn’t mean it’s crime-free, but comparing Lisbon’s safety issues with that of any major city in the world and you begin to get a sense of how much safer and lucky you really are in Lisbon. 4 QUALITY OF LIFE Safety and agreeable weather are just two factors that contribute to a high quality of life in Lisbon. Freedom, human rights, a stable democracy, recreation facilities and leisure time also make the Portuguese capital one of the best places to live in Europe. Residents can be at the beach just minutes from downtown, or enjoy nature in several green spaces. Golf, surfing and other outdoor activities are also more accessible here that in other European capitals. 5 REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES Foreigners are discovering Lisbon and buying entire buildings in the older neighborhoods. The historic atmosphere also attracts tourists so the current trend is to renovate buildings and rent theapartments for short stays. Despite the renovation boom, prices haven’t gone up. That’s due to the economic crises, so those who can invest will find that there’s no better time than now, especially when in about 20 years there will be fewer opportunities and higher prices. 6 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES Portuguese market has become known for being open to technological innovation and it’s been used by international companies as a test for new products. It’s now much easier to do business in Portugal, and the EU has recognized it as one of the countries that most reduced bureaucracy. It’s possible to set up a company in less than one hour, and according to the 2010 Global Benchmark Report, Portugal is the 7th OECD country with the lowest level of costs and taxes. 7 MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE Portugal is in the world’s top 10 for best road network, and it does reflect the focus on modernizing the country in the last couple of decades. The expanded airport is within 15 minutes of downtown, there’s a modern metro, new hotels and conference centers are growing businesses, as well as new world-class research centers (Champalimaud Foundation). 8 INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY Lisbon was the first city in Europe to set up a network of electric car recharging stations, was recognized in 2011 as having Europe’s best fiber optic network, and Portugal has pioneered services in banking (particularly ATM), telecommunications, and renewable energy (close to 60% of the electricity in the country comes from renewable sources). 9 HUMAN RESOURCES Unlike in the rest of southern Europe, you’ll find that in Lisbon there’s a sizable multilingual population, with 42% speaking two languages (especially English) and 23% speaking at least three. Improvements in education levels also means that there’s never been a better-prepared young generation in the country entering the job market. 10 TOURISM GROWTH Lisbon hasn’t yet explored its full potential as a tourism destination, meaning it’s a tourism hotspot of the future. While it’s recently been given several high-profile Travel awards, and while it’s one of the world’s top 10 cities for corporate events, it’s still overlooked as one of Europe’s must-see capitals. The world simply doesn’t yet associate Lisbon to any particular image, but as visitor numbers grow, so does the city’s brand. Lisbon’s future is in large part in its tourism. If there is one smart investment in Lisbon, it’s in tourism, particularly in accommodation and cultural activities downtown and in historic neighborhoods.
