Good evening,

Has anyone bought an apartment at Genuíno Cerca do Colegio in Portimão?

Thanks you.

Celia

We are in unit 13. It looks pretty well finished but no indication of when the town will issue occupancy permits.

The answer is always next week. But they were saying this back in January when we travelled to Portugal to occupy the condo to only find out it was not finished.

Now waiting for my lawyer to go directly to the town to find out if a) they have submitted the paperwork and b) what is the hold up

@carlos-sousa

Hi Carlos. Thanks for you comments and update. We are in block 1 which is further delayed not being able to make the best guess when it will be ready. Summer 2026 ? We will be in the area beginning of October 2025. If you have interesting updates, please let us know. THanks. Francisco Fonseca

Hello! 👋 Does anyone have any feedback on whether this project has been completed/ delivered?

If you live in Portugal and you're Portuguese and you're interested in this condominium (!) , wouldn't it be easier for you to seek information from the right place? And instead of posting your question here, help these people who are longing for an answer ?!? ....  .....

Hello, has there been any progress?

@JorgeManuel01

some condos are complete, other are under construction

all delayed by >1y

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I know some buildings say they're finished, but they're not. There's still a lot to be done, both inside the common areas (installing fire extinguishers, etc.) and outside (repainting the walls because they already have "white spots" on the gray paint, adding the building number, finishing the gardens, etc.).

It seems the builder left it abandoned... still unfinished.

Do you know anything about these matters?

Regards.

If you've bought a flat there and aren't receiving any updates, wouldn't it be better to get in touch:

- The property developer

- The estate agent who brokered the purchase (if applicable)

- The local authorities (Câmara Municipal de Portimão) to check the status of the building licence...?

Hi Sofia, I am also looking for information on this Genuino Investment. I would appreciate you would share it with me.

@JohnnyPT, The builder isn't responding. It just doesn't respond.

I just wanted to know if other people were having the same problem.

Is anyone else having the same problems?

It is obvious that people are having the same problem as others have said it will be a year before it's completed. @JohnnyPT has advised on who else to contact; no one here are lawyers that can help on this matter.

You should contact your own.

I'm not interested in knowing their address. If you wanted to know their address or contact information, it would be easy to find that information. I don't think that information is of interest to me. It seems they didn't read what I wrote. Anyway...

YOU have not read a word that JohnnyPT, I or anyone else has said. Anyway........ nevermind.

@SimCityAT

Why ?

@JorgeManuel01

As there are possibly others (but not me)  interested you could start a support group website, surprised there is no one already,  for people with a similar conundrum to yours. Then maybe move in a collective way which probably has more influence than randomly firing emails.

Hello everyone, we bought a 2-bedroom condo on Lot 14 in Portimao city center area in April 2025. We were given an estimated completion date of April 2027, but we are currently receiving no replies from the developer/seller. Is anyone else in Lot 13, 14 or 15 facing the same issue, or does anyone have fresh news on the site? Please share..

@mk95

our apartment was delivered January 2025. Overall , the quality is good. But in general there were 40 points of outstanding works to be done to the whole block by Escala Global. They don’t respond to our lawyers. Now, September 2026, the pool deck is still failing, the pool leaks, the garden irrigation sucks, the elevator is hazardous, the walls of the garage leak rainwater etc.

Escala Global is an unreliable company.

Are you still having the apartment?
