About Taipas 85
Taipas 85 is a 9-unit real estate development in Porto, designed by Adriana Floret and built to standard quality. It is located in the central urban fabric of Porto, within walking distance of daily amenities and close to the University of Porto. The development does not carry an energy certificate in the provided data.
Development summary
The project consists of one building arranged over two floors with elevator access. It includes four studio apartments, four 1-bedroom apartments and one 2-bedroom apartment. Interior areas range from 34m² to 109m², placing the development across compact city-home formats rather than large-format residences. The available orientations include south, east and west.
Architecture and build quality
Adriana Floret’s design is expressed through a small-scale urban building rather than a large residential block. The build quality is standard, so the value proposition rests more on location, layout efficiency and shared-use features than on high-spec construction claims. Double glazing windows are included, along with elevator access and a gated entrance with video intercom. The amenity set also includes coworking space and bike storage, which support day-to-day urban use.
Private living spaces
The available data confirms gardens and a rooftop terrace within the development, together with river view and city view aspects depending on unit position. No private pool, garage or storage unit is listed in the provided information. The combination of compact interiors and access to outdoor space gives the units a more flexible city-living profile than floor area alone would suggest.
Community and security
Taipas 85 operates as a gated community and includes video intercom for controlled access. Shared amenities are limited but practical, with coworking space among them, reflecting the scale of a nine-unit building rather than a larger residential compound.
Setting
The development sits in Porto’s central historic-urban area, within the Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau e Vitória neighbourhoods. Its location combines downtown access with an everyday residential setting, supported by proximity to schools, university facilities and shopping.
Proximity and distances
- University of Porto (U.Porto): 500m
- Porto University Hospital Centre — Santo António Hospital: 750m
- German School in Porto: 3km
- Quinta do Fojo Golf Course: 7km
- Oporto British School (OBS): 7km
- Norte Shopping Centre: 10km
- Cabedelo Beach: 9km
- Porto Airport (Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport): 20km
The school distances are relevant for families with school-age children, while the hospital at 750 metres is significant for residents who prioritise healthcare access. Porto Airport at 20 kilometres supports international travel, and the golf course at 7 kilometres adds relevance for golfers. Cabedelo Beach at 9 kilometres provides access to the coast without placing the development in a beachfront setting.
Positioning
Taipas 85 fits primary residents who want a central Porto address with elevator access and everyday convenience, as well as second-home owners seeking a low-maintenance city base. It may also suit rental investors because of its compact typologies and proximity to university, hospital and downtown demand drivers. The distinctive combination here is architect-designed small-scale urban living + gated access + coworking space + central Porto location. Contact us for availability and further details.
