Vanguard Properties launches Tomás Ribeiro 79
Vanguard Properties presents its new residential project, located in Avenidas Novas, Lisbon. This development, representing an investment of 30 million euros, promises to bring a new concept of modernity and luxury to one of the city's most iconic areas.
Tomás Ribeiro 79 has been designed as a reinterpretation of Lisbon’s traditional noble housing, where every line drawn is a dialogue between history and modernity. A project by the architectural firm Studio JV, it is situated in Avenidas Novas, one of the city’s most premium areas, between Saldanha and Marquês de Pombal. The large windows allow natural light to flood the apartments, while the vertical wooden elements on the building's exterior provide privacy to the interior spaces.
This is the first project in Vanguard Properties’ second investment cycle. As a leader in the premium and luxury real estate segments, Vanguard stands out for developing unique projects of excellence, meticulously designed with keen attention to detail. Each development is carefully crafted to exceed the highest expectations, always in prime locations.
The interior design, led by Quiet Studios and Spanish designer Daniela Franceschini, features timeless materials, seamlessly blending historic architecture with contemporary nuances—making them the protagonists of a story that endures over time.
Tomás Ribeiro 79 consists of 21 apartments spread across eight floors, with layouts ranging from two to four bedrooms. The development also offers 34 parking spaces and an array of premium amenities, including an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and concierge services. Fitness areas, outdoor retreats, beauty treatments, and wellness services are all available to residents without leaving the building.
Art plays a key role in all Vanguard Properties projects, elevating the residential experience while enriching both Portuguese and international artistic landscapes. At Tomás Ribeiro 79, this vision comes to life through the work of Pauline Guerrier, an artist whose creations deeply align with the project’s concept. Guerrier brings a distinctive approach, blending techniques and materials such as drawing, handcrafted marquetry, ceramics, and blown glass. Her work for Tomás Ribeiro 79 reflects Vanguard’s commitment to creating spaces where art is not only admired but lived—where a home becomes an expression of sensitivity and inspiration.
According to José Cardoso Botelho, CEO of Vanguard Properties:
“At Vanguard Properties, we don’t just build houses—we create experiences and make dreams come true. Tomás Ribeiro offers residents the vibrant energy of one of the city’s most iconic areas while also providing an exclusive set of amenities that deliver unique experiences without ever leaving the building—offering the true comfort of home. This is a highly distinctive project that introduces a new concept of contemporary living to Avenidas Novas.”
Tomás Ribeiro 79 is marketed by Vanguard Properties and co-exclusively by real estate agencies Porta da Frente Christie’s and Dils Portugal.
“More than just apartments, this new development is about creating genuine experiences for its residents. Located in one of Lisbon’s most cosmopolitan neighborhoods—surrounded by culture, commerce, and nature—Tomás Ribeiro 79 bridges the city’s past with its present. The building’s design reinterprets traditional architecture, with every line drawn as a dialogue between history and modernity,” highlights Patrícia Barão, Partner Residential at Dils Portugal.
João Cília, CEO of Porta da Frente Christie’s, adds:
“This project was conceived to harmonize contemporary architecture with Lisbon’s historical legacy. We are extremely proud to bring to market, alongside Dils, a development that redefines the concepts of quality and exclusive residential living in the Portuguese capital.”
