About Aura
Aura is a 26-unit real estate development in Santo António, Lisbon, designed by Pardal Monteiro Arquitectos and built to a premium standard. The project is set in Greater Lisbon, with a city-centre location and access to the metro nearby. It holds a B- energy certificate.
Development summary
The single building rises across five floors and is served by an elevator. The mix comprises eight studio apartments, thirteen 1-bedroom apartments, two 2-bedroom apartments and three 3-bedroom apartments. Interior areas range from 35m² to 163m², while balcony areas range from 13m² to 25m². South and west orientations are represented across the development.
Architecture and build quality
Pardal Monteiro Arquitectos has shaped Aura as a compact urban scheme rather than a large residential compound. Build quality is classified as premium, with the specification supported by solar panels, double glazing windows and air conditioning. The B- energy certificate places the project above basic stock while leaving room for buyers to assess the balance between central location and operational efficiency.
Private living spaces
Unit features include private balconies, private gardens and garages. The amenity set also includes private terraces, rooftop terrace options, city views and parking, with underground parking available in the building. These elements give each apartment a defined private outdoor or parking component, which is notable in a central Lisbon setting.
Community and security
Aura operates as a gated community with video intercom control at entry. Shared resident facilities include an indoor pool, heated pool, gym or fitness centre and common lounge space. The scale of 26 units keeps the community relatively contained while still supporting shared amenities that are uncommon in smaller urban buildings.
Setting
The development is located in Santo António, one of Lisbon’s central neighbourhoods, with a city-centre character and everyday services within walking distance. Its position near the metro and shopping reinforces its urban profile rather than a resort or suburban one.

The school proximity is relevant for families with school-age children, particularly given Lycée Français Charles Lepierre. Nova Medical School and Hospital of São José are relevant for buyers who value healthcare access in central Lisbon. Lisbon Airport at 8 kilometres supports frequent international travel. Jamor Golf Course serves golfers, while Paço de Arcos Beach provides access to the coast for buyers who want occasional beach use rather than a beachfront setting.
Positioning
Aura suits primary residents who want central Lisbon access, second-home owners who prioritise low-friction city living, and buyers who value a compact building with shared amenities rather than a large-scale compound. It also has practical appeal for rental investors because of its apartment mix, metro proximity and central address. The distinctive combination here is architect-designed urban housing + premium build quality + gated access + shared wellness facilities + city-centre location.
