About Carmim
Carmim is a 235-unit real estate development in Lordelo do Ouro e Massarelos, Porto, designed by Aires Mateus and built to premium standards. The project is set in a quiet residential part of the city, with Carneiro Beach 4km away and Quinta do Fojo Golf Course 5km away. It holds an A energy certificate.
Development summary
The development rises across 10 floors and is served by elevator access. It comprises 235 units with interior areas ranging from 37m² to 183m² and balcony areas from 2m² to 166m². Orientations include east and west exposures, giving the scheme a straightforward dual-aspect profile across the available units.
Architecture and build quality
Aires Mateus brings a disciplined architectural language to the project, with the scale of the building handled through a vertical apartment format rather than low-rise spread. Build quality is classified as premium, and the energy certificate is A. The amenity set supports that specification with solar panels, double glazing windows, air conditioning, EV charging infrastructure, and elevator access throughout the building.
Private living spaces
Private outdoor space is a notable part of the unit mix, with balconies or terraces available and private terraces specifically listed among the amenities. Unit features also include private garden space and garage provision. Views are city-oriented, which suits an urban residential setting rather than a resort context.
Community and security
Carmim is arranged as a gated community with 24-hour security and video intercom control at entry points. Shared resident facilities include an indoor pool, heated pool, gym, common room or lounge, coworking space, spa or sauna, gardens and a children's playground. Parking is provided on site, including underground parking.
Setting
The development sits in Lordelo do Ouro e Massarelos, one of Porto's established residential districts, with a quiet urban character and access to daily amenities on foot. Its location combines city living with proximity to both leisure and practical destinations, including beach access to the west and golf to the north-west.

Carneiro Beach at 4 kilometres will matter to buyers who want coastal access without leaving the city entirely.
Positioning
Carmim fits primary residents who want a central Porto address with security, parking and shared amenities; second-home owners seeking an urban base near both beach and golf; retirees who value lift access, healthcare proximity and managed communal facilities; and rental investors looking for a large-scale apartment scheme in an established district. The combination of Aires Mateus design, A certification, gated security, indoor wellness amenities and city-beach-golf proximity gives the project its distinct profile.
