About Essence Antas
Essence Antas is an 84-unit real estate development in Campanhã, Porto, designed by OODA and built to premium standards. The project is set in Porto’s eastern urban area, with access to metro-linked city infrastructure and a location 1.5km from Alameda Shop&Spot Shopping Centre. It holds an A energy certificate.
Development summary
The development is arranged across four buildings and four floors, with elevator access throughout. It comprises 13 studio units, 14 one-bedroom apartments, 23 two-bedroom apartments, 24 three-bedroom apartments and 10 four-bedroom apartments. Interior areas range from 43m² to 205m², while balcony areas extend up to 115.2m². Solar orientations across the scheme include north, south, east and west.
Architecture and build quality
OODA’s design gives the project a contemporary apartment-led structure rather than a single-block format, which suits the mixed unit mix and urban setting. The build quality is classified as premium, and the A energy rating is supported by solar panels, double glazing windows and air conditioning. EV charging provision is included, which adds practical value for residents with electric vehicles.
Private living spaces
Unit features include private balconies, private gardens, garages and storage units. The development also offers balconies and terraces more broadly, with some homes benefiting from private terraces and rooftop terrace access. City views are part of the outlook profile. The combination of outdoor space, parking and storage gives the larger apartments a more complete residential format than a standard city apartment product.
Community and security
Essence Antas operates as a gated community and includes shared resident facilities such as a swimming pool, gym or fitness centre, common room or lounge, kids play room and children’s playground. The scale of 84 units places it above small boutique schemes while still remaining manageable for residents who want shared amenities without resort-style density.
Setting
The development is located in Campanhã, Porto, in a quiet residential area with urban convenience close at hand. Its setting combines neighbourhood living with access to shopping, schools and metro-linked movement across the city.
