Fifty apartments designated for affordable rent will be constructed in Calhariz de Benfica, Lisbon, representing an investment of approximately six million euros, as announced by the Benfica Parish Council.

The new apartments, featuring T1, T2, and T3 typologies, will be built on a plot of land provided by the Lisbon City Council, situated near the new Calhariz de Benfica University Residence and the CP train station, according to a statement from the council.

The Parish Council notes that it will utilize modular construction with prefabricated concrete, which is expected to accelerate the construction timeline.
