Martinhal, known for its award-winning luxury family hotels & resorts across Portugal, is taking its successful formula to create one of Lisbon's most sought-after residential projects to date. Recognized by leading real estate brokerage firm, Savills, as one of the top new branded residences, Martinhal Residences, set in the city's newest and greenest neighborhood, Park of Nations, will complete in summer 2022 with 160 stylish residences ranging from studios to one, two, three and four-bedroom penthouse apartments and duplexes.

Already one of Europe's trendiest cities, Lisbon has been a magnet for travelers from all over the world thanks to its climate, laid back lifestyle, fabulous beaches, rich culture, history and food. In recent years too, Portugal has seen a consistent rise in foreign investment and expats relocating to the destination. Despite the pandemic, Portugal's property market displayed remarkable resilience and was barely impacted. A post-Covid world is now bringing with it a greater sense of flexibility in the workplace and a time to reflect on desired lifestyles. Particularly young families and empty nesters are drawn to Portugal for the financial and political stability, safe communities (the country ranks as the third safest in the world), a welcoming population, affordable healthcare, strong education, superb quality of life, as well as the Government's active support for entrepreneurialism and innovation.

Martinhal Residences is the latest development in the emerging Park of Nations neighborhood, also known as "Expo", as the area played host to World Expo in 1998 and has since represented the city's transition from old to new. As construction is set to be completed by mid-2022, already more than 66% of units have been sold to over 90 buyers from 20 nationalities around the world.

With leading-edge architecture by world-famous Eduardo Capinha Lopes and a modern and green façade that will be a future landmark in Lisbon, Martinhal Residences is the best branded hotel residences project currently on the market in central Lisbon. With multi-generational living in mind, the high-specification residences feature spacious living areas and tree-adorned balconies. 160 bright, light and stylish apartments, ranging from studios, to one, two, three and four bedroom residences with terraces and balconies, will enjoy views of the Tagus River and neighboring park. Excellent facilities will be available including indoor and outdoor heated pools, a gym, outdoor playground, a Martinhal's kids' club and a restaurant.

The concept of the Martinhal Circle also envisages a place where families, both residents and their non-resident guests, can socialize while taking advantage of fitness classes, an events space and café. Dedicated office space and executive assistant services support the new generation of remote professionals. Hotel-style services for residents will include concierge and reception, housekeeping and laundry, maintenance and technical support. Residential owners will also have a VIP status at Martinhal Hotels & Resorts, and receive preferential rates to stay at any location within the group's portfolio. Long-term rentals and the possibility of splitting time between different locations is also made easier as Martinhal will help owners to rent out their property for shorter or longer periods of time, as needed.

Founded by husband and wife team, Chitra and Roman Stern - entrepreneurs, hotel and real estate developers and parents to four children - they were inspired by their international background having lived in Singapore, India, the UK, Switzerland and most recently in Portugal, where they launched the award-winning Martinhal Sagres on the Algarve coast in 2010.
