The recovery of the Golden Eagle is probably the most iconic project of the BEL Group. Located in Quinta do Brinçal, in Rio Maior, a condominium is growing that extends over 600 hectares. When it is fully operational, it will have networked services and equipment, a hotel, residences, golf courses and other spaces for sports and leisure, all designed to create its own and differentiated lifestyle.

 

With a privileged location, Golden Eagle benefits from its proximity to the country’s capital but also to regions of enormous cultural wealth, which makes this a unique project in the country and in Europe. The first phase of the allotments is being prepared and daily a team works in the most varied valences to make real a vision of making this the place where we all want to live one day.
