Condominium development in Lisbon and Portugal
Condominium development
From urban feasibility analysis to approved licensing. Condominium projects with integrated BIM methodology, in Lisbon and Portugal.
Condominiums that generate returns from day one
The real estate market in Portugal demands projects that are technically flawless, financially viable and regulatory compliant. At Tiago R. Correia Arquitectura, we develop residential condominiums from scratch with an approach that integrates architecture, engineering and economic viability in a single process.
Urban feasibility
Complete analysis of the land: PDM, building indices, distances, gauge and legal constraints. Before you invest, you know exactly what you can build.
Architectural project
Integrated design with BIM modeling: plans, sections, elevations, 3D models, road impact simulation. Optimized design to maximize saleable area.
Licensing Approved
Complete submission to the city council with integrated technical documentation. Follow-up on requests for clarification until the building permit is obtained.
Condominiums we have designed and monitored
Premium Residential Condominium
Common Spaces and Landscaping
Contemporary Interior
DETAIL – OPEN SPACE
Premium finishes
DETAIL – NATURAL MATERIALS
From the land to the keys: the 6 phases of the process
Each condominium follows a strict timeline. We manage the entire process so that the developer can focus on what matters: the return on investment.
Feasibility Study
Analysis of the plot, topographical survey, preliminary concept and cost analysis. Validation of the business case. 4-6 weeks.
Concept and Architecture
Complete architectural project with specialties and refined budget. Parametric BIM modeling. 8-12 weeks.
Licensing
Submitting to the council, managing requests for clarification, obtaining the building permit. 8-12 weeks.
Construction and Supervision
Technical monitoring of civil works, installations, finishes and periodic inspections. 18-24 months.
Marketing
Support in pre-sales strategy, showroom and documentation for signing contracts. 6-9 months (in parallel).
Delivery of Fractions
Construction Manager’s Certificate, Compliance Book, land registry of each fraction and handing over of keys. 2-4 weeks.
The technical edge that protects your investment
Integrated BIM Methodology
Parametric modeling makes it possible to validate regulatory compliance before submission to the chamber. It reduces administrative returns by up to 60% compared to traditional CAD methodology. The project is delivered with complete documentation: plans, sections, elevations, 3D models and impact simulations.
Optimization of Saleable Area
Through parametric analysis, it is possible to increase the saleable area by 5-8% without altering the building envelope. Optimization of circulation, removal of unproductive spaces and intelligent infrastructure design translate into additional operating margin.
Simplex 2026 domain
The Simplex Urbanístico reform has significantly reduced licensing procedures. We have mastered the new prior communication regime and the shortened PIP deadlines, speeding up projects that previously took 18-24 months to approve.
Post-licensing follow-up
Submitting the project to the council is not the end of the process. During construction, situations arise that require technical advice: construction deviations, requests for interpretation, compliance with modifications. We guarantee an active presence right up to the final handover.
We work with people who develop housing
Real estate developers
Condominium projects from scratch with a focus on maximizing GDV and optimizing construction costs. From the plot to the approved license.
Investment Funds
Construction feasibility analysis with integrated financial modeling. Solid business cases to support investment decisions in real estate assets.
Family Offices and Investors
Technical advice for owners of land or buildings with development potential. Assessment of building capacity and regulatory framework.
What you need to know before you go ahead
How long does it take to develop a condominium from scratch?
The complete cycle – from the feasibility study to the delivery of units – typically takes between 30 and 42 months. The design and licensing phase takes 6-9 months; construction, 18-24 months. With the Simplex 2026 reform, licensing times have been significantly reduced.
What is the minimum investment to develop a condominium?
It depends on the location, the size of the plot and the types you want. In Lisbon, a project of 10-15 units typically requires a total investment of between 3 and 8 million euros. The investment in design and licensing represents 3-6% of the total and is the most critical step in validating viability.
Do you work with land that hasn't yet had a project approved?
Yes. The ideal scenario is to get involved before the land is purchased. A prior constructive feasibility analysis makes it possible to negotiate the price based on real constructive capacity data and to anticipate urban planning restrictions that could make the desired program unfeasible.
What advantage does the BIM methodology have in a condominium project?
BIM makes it possible to model the entire building in parametric 3D before submitting it for licensing. This reduces design errors, avoids incompatibilities between specialties and speeds up municipal approvals. In practice, it reduces administrative returns by up to 60% and can increase the saleable area by 5-8%.
Do you monitor the work or just until the license is issued?
We offer complete support: from feasibility to the delivery of units. During construction, we provide technical supervision, manage construction deviations and ensure regulatory compliance at all stages. We don’t abandon the project after licensing.
Do you have a plot of land with condominium potential?
