Lisbon’s rise to glory

Balancing lifestyle with world-leading capital growth prospects

Savills’ newly released World Cities Prime Residential Index 2026 makes it clear that Lisbon will be on the radar of property investors across the globe this year. Having ranked seventh globally for its capital value growth in 2025, the city has risen even further in 2026, coming among the top five global markets. 

According to Savills’ analysis, the Portuguese capital is forecast to deliver average capital value growth of between 4% and 5.9% in 2026. That puts it not only in the top five cities globally, but the top two in Europe (the other being Madrid). Lisbon’s projected performance is particularly notable, given the average forecast capital value growth across Savills’ entire World Cities Prime Residential Index is just 1.3% this year.

Savills observes that lifestyle “remains the dominant theme” for property buyers, underpinning Lisbon’s appeal as one of the “leading destinations for high net worth individuals and global talent migration.” 

Another interesting factor is the relative affordability of Lisbon’s prime property market compared to other world cities. Lisbon ranks 14th out of 30 cities for its average price per square foot, highlighting how much more property buyers can get for their money.   

Lisbon’s limited supply of prime properties also plays into its capital value growth projection. Savills reports that “Lisbon remains buoyed by strong domestic and international demand” – a situation that Iberian developer Kronos Homes is seeing first-hand with its projects in and around the city. 

Kronos Homes’ MIMA Living and La Réserve developments stand out as examples of the different types of premium properties and lifestyle offerings to which Lisbon is home. 

MIMA Living is a collection of 180 stunning apartments spread across two 14-storey buildings. It is part of Kronos Homes’ €150 million mixed-use MIMA project in the heart of the contemporary Parque das Nações district of Lisbon.

Designed to cater to modern lifestyles and investment demands, the MIMA Living apartments offer an innovative urban experience that comes with flexibility over how buyers use the homes, through a model that encompasses professional tourism management. It means that buyers can generate income from their apartments (should they so wish) when they’re not using them themselves.

On-site amenities cater to every comfort, with a multifunctional lobby, lounge and co-working areas, a fully equipped gym, two swimming pools, private gardens, underground parking, and reception and security services.

La Réserve, meanwhile, consists of 101 apartments at Lisbon’s renowned Belas Clube de Campo golf resort, just 20 minutes from Lisbon and Cascais. The newly-launched €60 million development will pair countrified peace and serenity with easy access to urban amenities. The elegant, sophisticated new homes afford privileged lake and golf course views and range from one to four-bedroom apartments with generous balconies and terraces. An outdoor pool, versatile multipurpose space and extensive communal gardens will complement the existing local gym, café, pharmacy and sports facilities.

Alda Filipe, Regional Director and Partner at Kronos Homes, comments: “Lisbon balances an enviable lifestyle offering with robust capital growth prospects, making it a city that property buyers cannot afford to ignore in 2026. MIMA Living and La Réserve demonstrate the choice available to property buyers keen to be part of this dynamic city’s bright future.”
