LX Capital is a real estate developer company founded in 2016. LX Capital develops rehabilitation projects in privileged areas and follows sustainable practices and high-quality construction.
Vision
We believe in rehabilitation in the centre of the city as the most sustainable form of developing real estate projects and that which creates the best real estate assets, where unique projects and unrepeatable locations provide the best quality of life and the best investment.
Philosophy
We must invest, design and construct prioritizing rehabilitation and reuse. We intend to recover and rescue the city heritage, making buildings more efficient and building homes oriented towards harmony, well-being, health, and happiness.
What moves us
To build unique homes that bring well-being and happiness to those who live in them.
To rehabilitate the city and make it more beautiful and sustainable.
To recover built heritage.
To reduce the impact of our activity, prioritizing rehabilitation, reuse and reuse.
To create real estate assets with resilient value.
We believe in rehabilitation as the most sustainable form of developing real estate projects, considering the substitution of sick and inefficient buildings and the construction with waste reduction through the recuperation of existing structures, the reutilization of materials and the reuse and recycling of demolished materials.
With our interventions, we intend to requalify the city with respect for the existing, the tradition and the heritage, but contribute towards a more comfortable and sustainable city.
Therefore, we concentrate on rehabilitating old buildings and new construction on old industrial spaces or empty urban areas, in city centres at premium areas taking the most out of the privileged locations.
We are convinced that to achieve these objectives a transversal approach to architecture and engineering is necessary, in which projects are developed since the definition of the base program with an approach supported by principles and rules of well-being, environment, architecture and engineering, alongside knowledge of the needs and expectations of the inhabitants of the spaces and the interests and demands of society. This approach, based on the experience and competencies of a specialized and dedicated team, differentiates us from the market and allows us to develop a product that has value over time, independent of market moments and economic phenomena.
We concentrate our investments in unique and irreplaceable locations where, with a correct architectural and engineering approach, we can create high-value assets, resistant to market conditions. In our projects, we care that clients, whether investors or residents, always have their investment defended with a potential of increase in value, being able to monetize or use it, valuing it or passing the value on to the next generations.
Our projects are developed based on an orientation that promotes the well-being of occupants, with a holistic approach that considers all aspects and details of the project and its surroundings. This preoccupation is reflected in the WELL certification that we seek to integrate into our projects and is part of our guidelines and policies.

Eduardo is probably one of the people who knows the most about tourism and tourist real estate in Portugal and the huge number of projects he has studied and advised on in Portugal means he knows the reality very well. Despite not having a driving license, he knows Portugal and the city of Lisbon deeply.
His vast experience allows him to have a highly supported critical opinion on real estate investment projects and enriches the discussion with numbers and examples.
LX Capital believes in the power that the total and complete commitment of companies to the highest standards of business practices and ethics can bring to society.
Responsibility Policies
For that reason, we hold ourselves and the companies in our portfolio responsible, and accountable to our investors, the beneficiaries of our projects and accountable to our stakeholders, with particular attention to society and cities. We aim to achieve the best possible returns for our investors, but we believe that the introduction of social, environmental and governance considerations in business decisions is the responsible approach to invest, which translates, also, into better products for our clients.
Environmental, social and governance principles (“ESG”) are an integral part of LX Capital’s investment process, strategy and project management.
Environment
LX Capital is committed to ensuring that its businesses and developments are environmentally responsible, promote the efficient use of scarce resources and favour the use of technologies that allow for the least environmental impact of our projects.
Social
LX Capital projects pay particular attention to the quality of life and health conditions of those who will live in our buildings, and consider neighboring communities as stakeholders who are critical to the success of our projects.
LX Capital is a safe and collaborative workplace, without any type of discrimination and where we aim to create rewarding employment opportunities that contribute to the responsible professional and human development of people, regardless of their origin or identity.
Governance
LX Capital projects are managed with honesty, integrity, fairness and respect, through appropriate institutional structures to support good governance. We disclose our activity and our ESG policies, publicly and effectively, to our investors, clients and all interested parties. Our investment decisions are analysed and monitored by a Strategic Committee, which verifies compliance with ESG policies, namely concerning governance rules and concerns.
The biggest intervention in terms of sustainability that we can make is to invest in the rehabilitation and recuperation of existing buildings.
Sustainability
The objective is always to improve the conditions of buildings, maintaining, recovering, and reusing, whenever possible, structures, constructions and materials.
With the Condes de Caria project, we began our intention to certify all projects with WELL certification. This certification puts inhabitants and their well-being at the centre of consideration. Carefully monitoring the impacts of the spaces on health and well-being throughout the entire process allows us to promote positive effects and mitigate potential fewer positive impacts. The WELL certification process involves a holistic approach to the elements of the built environment, through seven concepts: Air, Water, Nutrition, Lighting, Fitness, Comfort and Mind.
Condes de Caria will be the first residential development in Portugal with this certification.
