About Enlight
Enlight is a 21-unit real estate development in Avenida da Boavista, Porto, completed in 2025 and designed by José Carlos Cruz. It is a premium-build project with an A energy certificate. The location places it in one of Porto’s main urban corridors, with Molhe Beach 4km away and the city centre-oriented amenities of Boavista close at hand.
Development summary
The development comprises 21 apartments arranged across one building and eight floors, with elevator access. The unit mix includes one 1-bedroom apartment, thirteen 2-bedroom apartments, four 3-bedroom apartments and three 4-bedroom apartments. Interior areas range from 109.3m² to 280.5m², while balcony areas range from 12m² to 96m². All units are south-facing.
Architecture and build quality
José Carlos Cruz has shaped the project as a contemporary urban building rather than a low-density residential compound, with the emphasis placed on efficient circulation, light and usable private outdoor space. The premium build quality is supported by an A energy certificate and a specification that includes solar panels, double glazing windows, underfloor heating and a domotic system. An EV charging station is included, which adds practical value for residents with electric vehicles.
Private living spaces
Each unit includes a private balcony or terrace, with some homes also benefiting from a private garden. Private garage parking is provided, alongside underground parking and storage units. Views are listed as city views, which aligns with the building’s Avenida da Boavista setting and its urban orientation.
Community and security
Enlight is a gated community with video intercom control at entry. Residents also have access to a common room or lounge, adding a shared indoor space without changing the building’s apartment-led character. At 21 units, the scale remains compact enough to avoid the anonymity of larger blocks while still supporting shared amenities.
Setting
The development sits on Avenida da Boavista in Porto, in a quiet residential area that also benefits from city-centre access and walking-distance convenience. It is positioned near metro connections, shopping and schools, which gives it a distinctly urban residential profile rather than a resort or peripheral one.
Proximity and distances
- Lycée Français International de Porto (LFIP): 2km
- University of Porto (U.Porto): 3km
- Hospital da Prelada (Porto), private hospital: 3km
- Molhe Beach: 4km
- Oporto British School (OBS): 5km
- Norte Shopping Centre: 5km
- Quinta do Fojo Golf Course: 6km
- Porto Airport (Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport): 15km
The school distances are relevant for families with school-age children, particularly given the presence of LFIP and OBS within practical reach. Hospital da Prelada supports buyers who want private healthcare nearby. Porto Airport at 15km is useful for international owners and frequent travellers. Quinta do Fojo Golf Course will matter to golfers, while Molhe Beach gives the address access to the coast without placing it in a beachfront setting.
Positioning
Enlight fits primary residents who want an urban Porto address with modern building systems, second-home owners who value low-maintenance apartment living near the coast and city centre, and buyers who prioritise school access or proximity to healthcare. Its distinctive combination is José Carlos Cruz architecture + A certification + gated entry + south-facing apartments + Boavista location + strong everyday connectivity.
