Message from Claude

Dear Friends of Krest,

As spring blooms across Portugal, I am pleased to share Krest’s recent milestones. After two years of dedicated work, we have proudly joined the B-Corp family, affirming our commitment to sustainability and responsible development.

At SIL (Salão Imobiliário de Lisboa), we successfully launched Arcoverde in Paço de Arcos, with 40% of the first phase already reserved. We are welcoming new residents to Torre Girassol — part of Jardim Miraflores — in Oeiras and have delivered the “SEA” building — part of Horizon Ocean Gardens — at Praia do Forte Novo, which earned us and our partner CETIM a second consecutive Prémio Nacional de Imobiliário for southern Portugal’s best design. Alvôr The Breeze’s construction advances steadily on the Algarve coast. In northern Portugal, we’re expanding to the Porto region with two landmark residential towers in Gaia that will transform the skyline and bring Krest’s quality standards to a new market.

Thank you to our clients for their trust and to all our stakeholders who make this journey possible.
Claude Kandiyoti
Chief Servant Officer

Arcoverde launched at SIL

After months of careful planning and design, KREST and REVIVE have joined forces to unveil Arcoverde, a thoroughly crafted neighbourhood nestled within lush gardens that redefines urban living in Greater Lisbon.

What makes Arcoverde special is not just its prime location, minutes from both the beach and Lisbon’s vibrant city centre, but also its commitment to harmonising modern living with nature.

The development seamlessly integrates architecture with landscaping to create spaces where community and tranquillity coexist. As cities grow denser, finding a sanctuary that offers both connectivity and calm becomes increasingly rare. Arcoverde answers this need without compromise. Explore what makes this project unique: Arcoverde.

Poised between the shimmering Tagus River and the lush expanse of Monsanto Park, this striking 15-floor tower stands as a new icon in Jardim Miraflores. With architecture by MetroUrbe, every detail has been crafted to combine elegance, comfort, and functionality.

The building offers 68 thoughtfully designed apartments, ranging from spacious one-bedroom units to expansive family-sized homes. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood each space with natural light, while private balconies invite you to soak in panoramic views—from sunrise over the river to sunset behind the greenery.

Inside, the interiors feature high-quality finishes, open-concept living areas, and modern kitchens and bathrooms that blend style with practicality. Residents also enjoy access to secure underground parking, smart entry systems, and a beautifully landscaped communal area.

Whether you’re starting a new chapter, relocating, or investing in one of Greater Lisbon’s most desirable areas, this is more than a place to live – it’s a place to feel at home.

Welcome to the Sea Condominium at Horizon Ocean Gardens – a residence that redefines coastal luxury. Perched above the shoreline, this architectural gem offers more than just sweeping views of the Atlantic. It’s a curated lifestyle shaped by tranquillity, innovation, and refined design.

Developed by KREST in partnership with Cetim, this project stands as a milestone in sustainable, high-end living.

As the Sea Condominium has been completed, a few units remain in the adjacent Sand Condominium — offering the same signature blend of comfort, design, and breathtaking views.

Each unit is a sanctuary of calm, with expansive interiors bathed in natural light, minimalist design lines, and premium finishes that reflect the elegance of its surroundings.

Every detail, from the panoramic glazing to the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, is designed to bring the serenity of the ocean into your everyday life. This is a home where you can wake up to the rhythm of the waves and unwind under the endless sky.

Don’t just live by the ocean. Live with it, in a home that brings nature, design, and lifestyle into perfect harmony.
