The Portuguese have generally been more discerning about over-development than the Spanish – with ever-tightening planning restraints. Nothing built now in the seaside area is higher than three storeys, and provision of green space has to be taken into account.
No building can be closer than 500 metres to the sea front. In the more developed heart of the Algarve, some areas are not a pretty sight – particularly in Albufeira, with its infamous ’strip’ and all its fish-and-chip shops.
But even here the focus has changed. The Eden development, planned for completion in June 2010, is a classier proposition.
Being built by Grupo Duarte on the edge of Albufeira, Eden also has a hotel tie-in – with Radisson.
The traditionally styled apartments all have large terraces are set amidst ample green spaces, with views over lush landscaped gardens and pools.
The apartments are 94,69 sqm and comprise two bedrooms, a spacious living/dining room area, with direct access to the terrace or balcony. The apartments come fully furnished and equipped with solar powered climate control and integrated communication systems.
A managed rental program is available with 6 weeks free usage per year providing you with a rental income of around 5% on the value of your property per annum.
