Lisbon’s historic districts still have many degraded properties
Despite positive evolution in recent years, Lisbon still has many buildings that are either abandoned, poorly maintained or even in ruins. According to data from the Lisbon Chamber of Commerce in 2018, there are 2,626 buildings in the city declared totally or partially vacant and 7,230 in poor condition, concentrated in the city’s historic neighbourhoods. Experts speak of the need for €4 billion in urgent rehabilitation works in the capital and over €24 billion nationwide.
Majority of Local Lodging buildings were vacant
60% of the buildings currently used in Local Lodging were previously uninhabited according to a recent study issued by the Portuguese Hotel Association (AHRESP). Only a minority served as long-term leases to locals. The report also concluded that 56% of the “AL” buildings in Northern Portugal were formerly unoccupied. In the centre, the percentage of empty dwellings was 47% and in the Alentejo, 55%. The Algarve, Madeira and the Azores are still under analysis.
