Bonjardim, a project developed by Avenue, stands out as one of the most iconic urban redevelopment projects in downtown Porto, having received several real estate sector awards, such as the SIL Award 2024 in the Urban Rehabilitation category and the National Real Estate Award 2025 in the Northern Housing category.
The retail component of Bonjardim was acquired in July this year by the Property Core Real Estate Fund, managed by Square Asset Management. Cushman & Wakefield and JLL are co-marketing the last two available units, leveraging their market expertise to support brands in defining strategies, boosting visibility, and maximizing commercial performance.
In addition to residential and hospitality components, Bonjardim includes over 4,000 m² of retail space, 95% of which is already occupied by brands such as Cosentino, with its “Cosentino City Porto” showroom, the Continente supermarket, and various restaurant and café concepts like Starbucks, Brunchit, Jeronymo, and recently Forneria Gallo Grigio. The opening of Fujifilm’s first flagship store in Portugal further reinforces the attractiveness of the development.
With 16 stores spread across iconic streets such as Rua de Sá da Bandeira and Rua Formosa, and benefiting from a strategic location next to Mercado do Bolhão, between Rua de Santa Catarina and Avenida dos Aliados, Bonjardim offers brands centrality, visibility, and a constant pedestrian flow. The development also includes a private parking facility with public access, providing direct connection to the retail area and ensuring greater convenience for both brands and their customers.
“Mostly occupied by leading brands, Bonjardim has established itself as a consolidated shopping destination in downtown Porto. With only two stores available, this is a unique opportunity for brands that value centrality and visibility, as well as the dynamism of a commercially vibrant and iconic area,” says Susana Pires, Senior Retail Consultant at Cushman & Wakefield.
Cristina Almeida, Head of Porto at JLL Portugal, states: “Bonjardim represents a new generation of projects in the heart of Porto, combining housing, hospitality, and retail in an integrated concept that meets today’s market demands. JLL has been involved since the beginning, supporting brands seeking locations in the city center, where the quality of the project truly makes a difference.”
