The Finisterra development on the cliff above the fishermen's
harbour looks to be substantially complete. One penthouse has been sold
for €1.37 MILLION!

I still makes me wonder who would be mad enough to invest in any high end property, apartment or shop, with the end of mass tourism fairly nigh. We shall see.

The Albufeira Prime development opposite the town hall is coming along slowly. Asking price? A bargain at €350,000 for a T2.  |

The new development almost opposite me. All finished and apparently sold. Certainly the 'for sale' signs have gone.  |

Finisterra development on the way down towards the marina. Would you shell out the asking price for those available in excess of €750,000 if you had seen how they were built? Being sold by Sothebys.  |

In São Rafael the W Hotel and Residences are taking shape. Can't say I like the design!" The vast edifice all looks like this.  |

Thanks for the link to the paper Tom. Quite a bit to digest but I have plenty time at the moment.

Those Prestige buildings on Oceano were started around the recession .. and finished after a long delay around 3 years ago. I advised some Americans on the location when they wanted to book .. there was a little sales cabin up near the roundabout which was smashed every which way ...
Here is the streetview from last August .. this turn also on the blue/green giro route ..

The standard brick type here. I am fairly certain it is mainly to reduce weight. Steel frames are the load bearing elements, the bricks just fill in the spaces. They will be covered with a layer of concrete, which will then be painted. Looks nice when finished, but no substance. There should be a double wall with cavity for some degree of insulation. I found a slightly learned paper on the evolution of Portuguese construction techniques, in English, at https://www.irbnet.de/daten/iconda/CIB11011.pdf Talks about different types of brick and building techniques,with mention of the problems associated with poor project management and low quality workmanship.

I notice the bricks have a lot of air space in them. Does anyone know if this for thermal insulation or to reduce weight?

The Finisterre apartment building opposite the Arte Bar. if you saw how these were flung up, would you spend upwards of €250,000?  |
