Zaphira Capital’s landmark private estate development in Quinta da Marinha, Cascais, was honoured with the “Empresa em Crescimento – Construção e Imobiliário” (High-Growth Company – Construction & Real Estate) award at the 6th edition of the Expresso Portugal Economy Awards, supported by Caixa Geral de Depósitos. The distinction highlights companies in each sector that achieved the most significant expansion in scale and impact over the past year, reinforcing Zaphira Capital’s position as a leading force in Portugal’s prime real estate market.
The awards celebrated the resilience and reinvention of Portuguese companies amid global challenges — from the pandemic to inflation and rising interest rates. Within this backdrop, Zaphira Capital stood out for its vision and ability to deliver a touristic development of exceptional scale and quality in one of Europe’s most supply-constrained markets.
Set across 14 hectares in Quinta da Marinha, the estate comprises close to 100 architecturally refined villas, each with private gardens and swimming pools. With its combination of scale, design distinction, sustainability, and investment potential — including a touristic licence and a curated retail plaza — the project has established a new benchmark for prime contemporary coastal living in Portugal.
This recognition reflects Zaphira Capital’s strategy of delivering developments where lifestyle and investment intersect. By curating scarcity-driven opportunities in Lisbon and Cascais, the firm continues to consolidate its standing as a reference in the Portuguese real estate sector.
