The lease agreement signing and key handover ceremony will take place at 11 AM. The housing complex includes 48 units, with 46 of type T1 and 2 of type T2. The project is funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and aligns with Amadora's Local Housing Strategy, reinforcing the municipality's priority in promoting public housing.
This controlled-cost housing applies the reduced rent scheme for the first time in the municipality, calculated based on household income. The aim is to ensure the effort rate does not exceed 35% of the average monthly income, making housing more accessible. The development addresses the housing needs of the municipality, especially for families seeking more affordable homes.
The new homes will be the residence of 56 people (32 women and 24 men), with an average age of 37.3 years. The average gross salary of future residents is €1,229, and the average monthly rent will be around €463.
The Cerrado da Mira housing complex stands out for its hybrid construction, focusing on modularity and comfort through the use of wood as a renewable raw material. Standardized prefabrication facilitates material reuse and promotes a circular economy. This innovative model reduces waste, speeds up production, and generates significant cost savings, with environmental and energy efficiency benefits.
The CREE construction system allows for a reduction in waste of about 70%, decreases noise pollution by over 50%, and reduces the carbon footprint by 59%, using only one-third of concrete compared to traditional construction. Construction time is also reduced by 50% to 70%.
The project, which included design and construction, was awarded to Grupo Casais for €6,879,398.37, with a construction period of 540 days. The model unit was furnished with solutions from IKEA, resulting from the Casais-IKEA partnership in the Well Live project, which features sustainable, accessible, and ready-to-live-in housing units.
This municipal project combines construction innovation, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion, aiming for a fairer and more cohesive Amadora.
