The Incident and Its Aftermath
When Ana Reis, a 42-year-old resident of Beco do Forno do Sol near Vila Berta in Lisbon's Graça neighborhood, heard a loud noise in the middle of the night on Wednesday, she initially dismissed it as the garbage truck. It wasn't until morning that she realized the full extent of the collapse that had occurred, leaving her kitchen window overlooking a scene filled with debris.
Background of the Site
This plot of land had been abandoned for decades and changed hands among multiple owners over the years. In 2023, a company established by a Nigerian entrepreneur began construction on what is now set to become a luxury real estate development.
The New Development
Apartments in this new building are already on the market, priced at a minimum of 1.4 million euros each, positioning it as a high-end addition to the area. The project has sparked discussions about urban development and safety in historic neighborhoods.
