Private Introduction · Portugal
Industrial heritage reborn on the Douro riverfront
Set on the southern bank of the Douro in Vila Nova de Gaia, Pescaria is a distinctive residential project with direct views of Porto's historic centre and the river, just steps from the heart of the city. The development is a sensitive rehabilitation of a former Port wine barrel factory, retaining the industrial character of the original riverside building. Pescaria comprises 18 one-bedroom apartments, 12 of which are duplexes with privileged river views, complemented by eight parking spaces and two commercial units. The top-floor homes stand out for their spacious south-facing terraces, where residents can take in the full panorama of the Douro and the city beyond. The architecture is signed by Pedro Mosca & Pedro Goncalves Arquitectos. Positioned alongside the iconic Port wine cellars, the Gaia cable car and a lively riverfront of restaurants and bars, Pescaria is a rare chance to own a home in one of the region's most emblematic and protected settings.
