Located in Funchal, the Savoy Residence | Monumentalis won the New Construction – Housing category at the 7th edition of the Expresso/SIC Notícias Real Estate Awards, held on 5 November in Leiria. The competition featured 60 projects, highlighting leading initiatives in the national real estate sector.

Victor de Sousa, General Manager of AFA Real Estate, stated that the award “acknowledges the company’s commitment to developing projects that contribute to Madeira’s growth.”

Completed in 2024, the development comprises 150 apartments and 11,500 m² of landscaped areas, integrating residential and commercial zones, gardens, squares, and leisure spaces with sea views. Designed by RH+ Arquitectos, it includes a gym, communal pool, and private pool units, as well as private box parking.

The Savoy Residence | Monumentalis incorporates sustainable materials, such as 67,600 kg of recycled Hydro CIRCAL® aluminium, supplied in partnership with TECHNAL, resulting in an estimated 78% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to conventional aluminium.

The project had already received an honourable mention at the 2025 SIL Real Estate Awards and the “Housing – Autonomous Regions” prize at the 2025 National Real Estate Awards, further reinforcing its significance in both the Madeiran and national housing markets.

Promoted by AFA Real Estate, the development is associated with Savoy Signature services, offering residents exclusive benefits through the Savoy Resident Card.
