Architecture and build quality
ESSE Architecture designed the project, which is classified as premium in the supplied build specification. Its B energy certificate is accompanied by solar panels, double-glazed windows and air conditioning. These are specified features; the available data does not detail individual finishes.
Private living spaces
Private balconies are listed among the apartment features, and city views are included in the development specification. Storage units are also provided, although individual allocations are not specified.
Community and security
The Unit is a gated development with video intercom access. At 13 apartments in a single building, it has a smaller resident population than a large multi-building scheme.

The building is in Arroios, within Lisbon’s downtown area. The location is described as close to a metro station, schools, shopping and everyday amenities, though distances to the metro and local shops are not specified. Atrium Saldanha Shopping Centre is 2km away.
