Porto is 2nd global destination in luxury estate, as stated by 2019 Global Property Handbook from BARNES

According to the 2019 Global Property Handbook from BARNES, Porto is the second city on the top destinations for the greatest investors in luxury estate, second only to another Portuguese city, Lisbon.

Porto is highlighted as an attractive destination, the "city to keep a close eye on" and "a city that should be discovered as of now so as to find the best opportunities to invest or live in", as "it is a city that is very active and features a very dynamic economy and sound growth".

Porto is for the first time listed in the "Top 50 cities index" of 2018 that have recorded exponential growth in this sector during 2018.

The Invicta attracts a new international and haut de game clientele, and excellence-driven investors. The clientele is still mainly Portuguese, but the French are increasingly interested in investing in Porto, and the English and the Northern Europeans are more into the Invicta. They are after the cultural richness of Porto and the centennial azulejos (tiles) and whatever borough one chooses to invest in it is close to Porto Airport with "airlines opening routes at a regular basis".

Porto is evermore chosen by international decision makers as a headquarters to their European operations and "a city to keep a close eye on", as stated by Thibault de Saint Vincent President de Barnes International, on the occasion of the presentation of the 2019 Global Property Handbook from Barnes, in the Spanish capital.
