THE FUTURE of EntreCampos, the landmark project in the Portuguese capital Lisbon, is to be officially presented to the public for the first time at MAPIC.
The EntreCampos real estate scheme, one of the largest and most ambitious the city of Lisbon has seen in recent decades, has been six years in the making and will soon begin the retail and residential marketing phase.
Miguel Santana, director of Fidelidade Property, the project’s promoter, told MAPIC News: “It is very important to be here at MAPIC because this is the first time we are revealing the project to the world. We thought MAPIC would be the right time and the right place to show it.”

Speaking to MAPIC News, Michael Purefoy, head of asset management at EntreCampos, stressed the importance of engagement with the community and the sustainability aspects of the development. “We have a very large plot, five hectares or so, in the middle of Lisbon, but of that, 17,000 sq m is public space, green areas, parks and plazas, and the project has been designed around those and the integration between indoor and outdoor is a very important part of the project,” he said. “The retail is the spine that connects the entire scheme and we believe that we are effectively the first curated high street in the city.”
The retail component consists of 24,000 sq m spread over two floors, with 75 stores, designed to create a new shopping and leisure destination. The commercial space was projected with a street concept, combining emblematic stores, fine dining establishments and a central restaurant area.
Purefoy said that ESG of the development is a driving principle behind EntreCampos and believes it to be the first commercial project at this scale to use geothermal energy for heating and cooling. The scheme also has LEED Neighborhood Gold certification, awarded for the first time in Portugal.
