Arc Living is the name of the new development that Grupo Arliz is building and promoting in Porto, at the intersection of Rua Dr. Manuel Laranjeira in Salgueiros with the VCI ring road. Designed by the architecture studio MCF.A&A – Manuel Correia Fernandes, Arquitectura & Associados, with visualizations by Luppa Architects, the building is organized into three residential blocks, featuring five residential floors and two basement levels dedicated to parking. In total, it includes 93 apartments — studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units — with areas ranging from 48 m² to 139 m². The distinctive curve of the north façade, conceived as an architectural gesture, reinforces the project’s identity and stands out through the contrast between concrete and Extremoz marble used on the adjoining elevations.
Positioned as a versatile residential complex designed to accommodate different lifestyles and resident profiles, Arc Living aims to provide comfort and quality of life for its future occupants. Its strategic location — just minutes from the University Hub, the Polytechnic Institute, São João Hospital, and IPO, as well as offering quick access to IC23, Circunvalação, and the A1, A3, and A4 highways — is complemented by a wide range of amenities.
Residents will benefit from a gym, spacious balconies and terraces, landscaped areas, and a multipurpose room equipped with a kitchenette, sanitary facilities, and spaces for meetings and social gatherings. The development also includes parking spaces (including for residents with reduced mobility), a car wash area, and pre-installation for electric vehicle charging, with access facilitated by elevators and stairwells.
All units are equipped with air conditioning, bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and the open-plan kitchens come fully fitted with an induction hob, oven and combination microwave, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher.
Sustainability has also been a key consideration, reflected in the use of eco-friendly and recyclable materials, as well as the planned installation of heat pumps and photovoltaic panels, promoting the building’s energy efficiency.
“Arc Living is located in a well-established and strategically positioned urban area — a part of Porto that has been emerging as one of the city’s main residential, academic, and service hubs. Its privileged location, close to key mobility routes and public transport, allows for quick and efficient access to Porto’s city center and major road connections to the rest of the country, facilitating daily mobility. Within just a few minutes, there are major retail centers — such as Parque Nascente and Alameda Shopping — several renowned universities, hospitals, and green areas, notably Parque do Covelo.
It is therefore expected to attract interest from students and young professionals linked to academia or the healthcare sector, families seeking to remain well connected to Porto’s city center while enjoying easy access, and investors who recognize the building’s potential given its highly attractive location,” highlights MTC – SIC Imobiliária Fechada, the Grupo Arliz company responsible for promoting the development.
“We believe that Arc Living adds value to Porto’s residential offering, making the most of a strategic area that is continuously developing and increasingly sought after,” the real estate company states.
