About Terraços do Sado
Terraços do Sado is a 40-unit real estate development in Setúbal, designed by Essence Architecture and built to standard quality. The building rises over eight floors in União das Freguesias de Setúbal, with an A energy certificate. It is positioned in a quiet residential area with access to the beach, shopping, schools and golf within the wider Setúbal area.
Development summary
The development consists of one building with 40 apartments served by an elevator. The unit mix includes five 1-bedroom apartments, sixteen 2-bedroom apartments and nineteen 3-bedroom apartments. Interior areas range from 60m² to 239.5m². Solar orientations across the building include north, south, east and west exposures.
Architecture and build quality
Essence Architecture has organised the project as a single eight-storey apartment building with a straightforward vertical layout and elevator access. The build quality is standard rather than premium, but the specification includes features that support day-to-day efficiency and comfort: solar panels, double glazing windows and air conditioning. The A energy certificate indicates a stronger performance profile than an unclassified or lower-rated building.
Private living spaces
Each apartment includes a private balcony, with terraces available in the development’s outdoor offering. Units also come with a garage and a storage unit, which adds practical value for residents who need secure parking and extra space for seasonal or bulky items. Views include river and city outlooks, depending on unit position.
Community and security
Terraços do Sado operates as a gated community with video intercom control at entry. The shared structure is limited to one building, which keeps circulation simple while still providing the benefits of managed access and common infrastructure. Gardens are part of the communal setting.
Setting
The development is located in União das Freguesias de Setúbal, within a quiet residential area of Setúbal rather than in a dense urban core. Its location combines residential calm with practical access to the city’s main amenities, including the beach corridor and shopping areas.
Proximity and distances
- Albarquel Beach: 3km
- Hospital da Luz Setúbal: 3km
- Alegro Setúbal Shopping Centre: 2.5km
- St. Peter's International School: 7km
- International School of Palmela (ISP): 15km
- Quinta do Peru Golf Course: 20km
- Lisbon Airport (Humberto Delgado Airport): 45km
The school distances are relevant for families with school-age children, particularly those considering either St. Peter's International School or International School of Palmela (ISP). Hospital da Luz Setúbal is close enough to matter for retirees and households that prioritise private healthcare access. Lisbon Airport supports international travel, while Quinta do Peru Golf Course will be of interest to golfers. Albarquel Beach adds a coastal dimension for buyers who want regular beach access without living directly on the waterfront.
Positioning
Terraços do Sado suits primary residents who want apartment living in a quiet part of Setúbal, second-home owners looking for manageable maintenance near the coast, and buyers who value secure parking, storage and elevator access in a mid-rise building. It also has practical appeal for families because of its school proximity and for buyers who want both city convenience and beach access in one address. The combination of A-rated efficiency, gated access, river-view potential and a single-building format defines its position in the local market. Contact us for availability and further details.
