Briefings
The Banco de Portugal signed a contract with Fidelidade to invest 225 million euros in a new headquarters, reducing the building footprint from two to one structure while retaining the historic Baixa lisboeta site. The new A1 building will cost 160.09 million euros in core & shell, with fit-out estimated at 65 million euros over two years, saving approximately 10 million euros annually in operating costs compared to the original plan. The project is scheduled to begin in 2030, with the new headquarters occupying only one of the two buildings originally planned for the mega-project in Entrecampos.
