Avila Spaces Atrium Saldanha in Lisbon

Avila Work City officially opened at the Atrium Saldanha, standing out as the first Portuguese coworking space integrated into a shopping centre.

The inauguration event, which took place on 02/02/2022, was attended by Armando Martins, chairman of the board of directors of Imosal SA (partner of Avila Spaces in the project) and representatives of various entities linked to the sector of entrepreneurship and culture of Lisbon, with emphasis on Diogo Moura, Councillor for Culture, Education, Economy and Innovation of CML.

The new coworking is a recreation of Avila Spaces winning concept, with a Lounge area, individual and collaborative work zones, meeting rooms, booths for phone calls, a pantry and a brand new feature: an amphitheatre prepared for corporate events and product launches.

One of the highlights is the Cube room, a glass "aquarium", completely soundproofed, hanging above the commercial area of the Atrium Saldanha.

This space, located on the second floor of the Atrium Saldanha with an area of 640 square meters, is in soft opening since the beginning of 2022 and already has an 80% coworking occupancy rate.

In addition, Work City has also been nominated for the South Europe Startup Awards and for the National Real Estate Award 2022.

In the coming months, a set of initiatives is planned to boost the ecosystem of companies and shops in the building: talks, networking events, mini-concerts, exhibitions, among others.

Here, companies can continue to opt for the Flex Office offer, Avila Spaces' option that fits into the hybrid working model: it is possible to rent meeting rooms by the day (from €13/hour), to bring together geographically dispersed teams or subscribe to memberships for employees or freelancers (from €200/month) to be able to use the cowork space to escape the isolation of the home office.
