About The Avenue
The Avenue is an 11-unit real estate development in Paranhos, Porto, completed in 2022 and designed by Paulo Merlini. It is classified as premium build quality and holds an A energy certificate. The development sits in a quiet residential part of Porto with city-centre access and is 10km from Quinta do Fojo Golf Course.
Development summary
The project comprises a single six-storey building with elevator access serving all 11 units. Interior areas range from 112.1m² to 215.10m², while balcony areas range from 15m² to 214m². The available orientation mix includes south and east exposures.
Architecture and build quality
Paulo Merlini’s design is paired with a specification that supports the premium classification in practical terms rather than by label alone. The building holds an A energy certificate and includes solar panels, double glazing windows, air conditioning, and an EV charging station. These features indicate attention to energy performance, thermal comfort, and day-to-day usability.
Private living spaces
Private outdoor space is a clear part of the product here. Unit features include private balconies, private gardens, and garages, while the amenity set also references private terraces, balconies or terraces more generally, parking, underground parking, and swimming pool access. City views are listed among the view types.
Community and security
The Avenue operates as a gated community with video intercom and concierge service. A common room or lounge is included for residents’ use. With only 11 units in the building, the scale remains small enough to support a more contained residential environment than larger urban schemes.
Setting
The development is located in Paranhos, Porto, in a quiet residential area with city-centre connections and walking access to nearby amenities. Its setting combines an urban address with a lower-density residential character rather than a dense downtown profile.

Positioning
The Avenue suits primary residents who want an urban home with private outdoor space, gated access, and elevator convenience; second-home owners who value a manageable unit count in Porto; and buyers who prioritise proximity to schools, healthcare, golf, airport access, and shopping. The combination of Paulo Merlini design, A-rated energy performance, gated low-rise scale, private gardens or terraces, and a Paranhos location gives the project its distinct profile.
