About Foliage
Foliage is a 28-unit real estate development in Porto, completed in 2028 and designed by José Carlos Cruz. It is classified as premium and holds an A energy certificate. The development is in Aldoar, Foz do Douro e Nevogilde, with Molhe Beach 1km away.
Development summary
Foliage is arranged across two buildings and three floors, with elevator access. The composition includes nine 2-bedroom apartments, sixteen 3-bedroom apartments, and three 4-bedroom apartments. Interior areas range from 107m² to 225m², while balcony areas range from 10m² to 328m². The development is oriented across north, south, east and west exposures.
Architecture and build quality
José Carlos Cruz has shaped the project as a contemporary apartment development with a premium specification rather than a purely decorative one. The A energy rating is supported by solar panels, double glazing windows, a domotic system, air conditioning and underfloor heating. These are the kinds of features that affect daily comfort and operating efficiency in a measurable way.
Private living spaces
Each unit includes private outdoor space in the form of a balcony or terrace, with private garden areas also listed among the unit features. Private garage parking is part of the offer, alongside storage units. Views include garden and city aspects depending on unit position.
Community and security
The development includes video intercom access and elevator circulation across the buildings. Parking is provided on site, and the presence of storage units supports practical day-to-day use rather than purely residential display value.
Setting
Foliage sits in Aldoar, Foz do Douro e Nevogilde, an area that combines quiet residential character with access to urban amenities. Molhe Beach is the closest major landmark at 1km, placing the coast within short reach while keeping the setting tied to established residential streets.
