- Debt project in Porto, Portugal
- Amount Tranche A: 1,000,000 € // Term: 12 months
- 10.0% Simple annual interest | 10.0% Total return
- Second lien mortgage on the project asset (no provision of the formalized senior debt will be made, except for the repayment of the Urbanitae loan)
- The bank financing that will give way to our loan is already formalized
We present a new project that consists of the granting of a loan to partially finance the construction costs and general costs of a project of 27 tourist apartments and 1 commercial premises in the municipality of Porto, Portugal. The project is currently under construction and so far has been funded with the developer's own funds and through pre-sales made. The project already has a first lien loan contracted, which can be used once 50% of pre-sales (14 units) is reached. The expected repayment event of the Urbanitae loan will occur through the entry of the already formalized bank loan once the level of pre-sales required by the Bank is reached.
The asset is a 3,197 m2 tourist project on Rua da Torrinha in the municipality of Porto, Portugal, with work currently underway.
Urbanitae investors will enter the project through the granting of a mortgage loan (second mortgage) committed in two Tranches. This first Tranche has a fixed annual rate of 10.0% and a term of 12 months with possible extension of 6 months in month 12.
Although there is a first lien mortgage contracted on the asset, to date no disbursement has been made in relation to said loan. Bank financing will only be activated once certain project conditions are met and to repay the Urbanitae loan, so it will never coexist with the Urbanitae loan. In this sense, the second lien mortgage granted in favor of Urbanitae investors offers an additional level of security, as the bank loan and the Urbanitae loan will not be in force simultaneously on the asset.
The Torrinha Gardens project is located in a central and consolidated area of Porto, one of the main cities of Portugal and an important economic, cultural and university center of the country. It has a privileged location within the municipality, in a consolidated residential area and very close to the city center. The project is just a few minutes from Baixa de Porto, as well as emblematic areas such as Cedofeita and Jardim da Cordoaria, and also has excellent access and proximity to shops, services, universities and public transport, which enhances its attractiveness both for regular residence and for investment.

Project description
The promoter proposes the development of a promotion of 27 tourist apartments, and a commercial premises on the ground floor to be developed in two adjacent buildings distributed in 17 one-bedroom apartments and 10 two-bedroom apartments. The project will be operated by LovelyStay, the leading company in Portugal in property management for short, medium and long term rentals, specialized in maximizing the profitability of assets. With a total built area of 3,197m², each unit has an average area of 85 m2, where each unit has a balcony and/or garden. The sale price €/m² has been contrasted with a market study carried out by Savills and the estimated sale price set by the promoter is congruent with the conclusions of the study. The asset is very well located in the center of Porto, close to the historic center of the city, which offers a strong appeal for tourist accommodation thanks to its pedestrian accessibility, its access to services and transport, and an authentic urban atmosphere that balances local life with proximity to the main attractions.
The Project has a building license and construction began in October 2025.
The project manager has a senior loan contracted for construction, which will be provided once certain precedent conditions are met, among them the sale of at least 50% of the units. In addition, the project already has a building license, and construction began in October 2025. To date, the development has been financed through the promoter's own capital, as well as with the income from the pre-sales of the units.
Urbanitae investors will enter the project through the granting of a mortgage loan (second mortgage) committed in two Tranches. This first Tranche has a fixed annual rate of 10.0% and a term of 12 months with possible extension of 6 months in month 12.
STRUCTURE
This operation will be structured via debt, where Urbanitae Investors will grant a fixed rate loan to the company ROUNDNOISES - UNIPESSOAL LDA.
The total amount of the gross loan amounts to an amount of up to 2,000,000 €, fully financed by Urbanitae investors. The total loan will be structured in two tranches, whose main characteristics are as follows (you can consult more information in the document "Fundamental Data of the Investment"):
Total loan amount: up to a maximum of 2,000,000 €, committed in two tranches: (i) a first tranche or Tranche A, for an amount of up to 1,000,000 € and (ii) a second tranche or Tranche B, for an amount of up to 1,000,000 €, to be raised by Urbanitae investors.
• Simple annual fixed interest rate of 10.0% for Tranche A.
• Term of 12 months + 6 months extension for Tranche A.
• Minimum interest period: 8 months.
• The interest and principal of the loan will be paid at maturity (interest will begin to accrue from the moment the loan contract is formalized).
• Resulting leverage ratios: (i) LTC equivalent to 16.6% without including as own funds the non-monetary contribution of the land; (ii) LTV equivalent to 16.3% on the appraisal of the underlying asset in finished building hypothesis.
Total early repayment will be allowed at any time, subject to a minimum guaranteed return for the Loan equivalent to 8 months of interest. An additional 6-month extension is allowed at month 12.
Regarding the main guarantees of repayment of said loan, they are as follows:
• Second rank mortgage on the asset, with a mortgage liability equivalent to 130% of the principal amount of the loan. The mortgage must be registered with the authorization of the senior financier, as well as with his commitment not to make any disposition until the exit of the Urbanitae loan.
• No disposition of the senior debt contracted with BPI will be made, except for the repayment of the Urbanitae loan.
• Pledge on the shares of the SPV
• Irrevocable power of sale of the asset up to 25% below the appraisal value.
WHY INVEST?
There are several reasons to invest in this project:
• The collateral asset of the loan is a land located in Porto, Portugal, which already has work in progress and which so far has been funded with the promoter's Own Funds and through pre-sales made.
• Experience of the promoter developing similar projects in Porto.
• Porto is the second largest city in Portugal and one of the main economic, cultural and tourist centers of the country, playing a key role within the northern region and its metropolitan area.
• The investor's return will be 10.0% per year with a minimum interest period guaranteed of 8 months
• The project has a second rank mortgage guarantee on the asset.
• The bank financing that will pay off our loan is already formalized
MARKET
A market study has been carried out to determine if the selling prices proposed by the manager are reasonable.
There is information available about the market within the "Sales Witnesses" documentation, where you will find a list of houses for sale in the area.
WHEN WILL I RECOVER THE INVESTED MONEY?
The estimated term of this project is 12 months with a possible extension of 6 months in month 12.
• March 2026, granting of the Loan by Urbanitae investors, and continuation of construction works. At this time, the developer will relaunch the marketing of the asset and Savills will have exclusivity.
• Q1 2027, Once the 50% pre-sales target is reached, Banco BPI will be allowed to enter with the bank loan for the financing of the project, as well as the repayment of Urbanitae investors.
RISKS
All investments carry a risk. We detail the clearest risks we have identified for this project:
• Commercial risk in the sale of the houses, causing a delay in the repayment of the loan, as the marketing is still in an initial phase which limits the visibility on the market absorption for this product. To mitigate this risk, a market analysis has been carried out based on comparables that corroborates that the prices contemplated in the business plan are aligned with the market in the Porto area.
• Risk of deviations in construction times and costs, given that dependence on an external contractor for the execution of the work could result in cost overruns and delays with respect to the project's planned schedule. This risk is partially mitigated since (i) the work is currently in execution and has a construction contract under the modality of a fixed global price, (ii) we have carried out a Technical Due Diligence with an independent expert who validates the prices and deadlines set out in the business plan, and (iii) the entry of the bank and repayment of Urbanitae investors mainly depends on the level of pre-sales reached and is not directly linked to the degree of progress of the work.
• Possibility of change of the agreed conditions. This risk includes potential substantial changes that take place from the beginning of the financing campaign until the formalization of the loan contract, in which case the project would be cancelled and the investment returned.
