Your new home.

RUA is our Assisted Urban Rehabilitation service. We collectively acquire historic buildings in Porto, fully rehabilitate them, and hand you the keys — with complete guidance from reservation to deed.
The market shut the door.
We opened another.
"New homes became unaffordable. Historic buildings fell into disrepair. In Porto, there is a third way — and Z Imobiliária structures it for you."
Unaffordable new homes
Historic buildings standing idle
The solution: structured collective purchase
A complete service,
from building to keys.
We identify the right building
We analyse the legal status, conservation state, technical feasibility and post-rehabilitation market value. We only proceed when the numbers add up.
We structure the project
We engage the architecture firm, define floor typologies and lock in the construction budget. You know the exact total cost before committing.
We guide each buyer
We coordinate the promissory contracts, horizontal property registration, bank financing and construction. No specialist knowledge required on your part.
7 phases. One team
coordinating everything.
From building qualification to key handover, Z Imobiliária manages the entire process on your behalf.

Four profiles.
One opportunity.
Family in transition
Looking to leave renting and buy their own home, but cannot find a ready property at the right price. Values guidance throughout the mortgage process and certainty of the total cost from the outset.
Individual investor
Has savings and wants to diversify into a real asset. Does not want to manage works or bureaucracy. Appreciates an accessible entry point relative to the final value and documented potential appreciation.
Diaspora buyer
Portuguese living abroad who wants to maintain a connection to Porto or plan a return. Needs a team that manages everything locally, with clear communication and regular updates.
Small business investor
Company or sole trader. Acquires as a business asset with interest in the tax structure and properly documented potential capital gain.

speak for themselves.
