The Portuguese coworking operator, which previously had one of its office centres in this area at the Infante Building, has leased an area of approximately 3,000 sq m. In this transaction, C&W represented the building owner, a German fund, while B. Prime represented IDEA Spaces.
The Báltico Mar building comprises 13 above‑ground floors and a retail component at ground‑floor level, with a total gross area of approximately 14,500 sq m. It enjoys an excellent location, very close to the Vasco da Gama Shopping Centre and Oriente Train Station. As a model office building, it offers flexibility and efficiency in space layout to its occupants. The building has very recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment of its common areas, following several ESG criteria, including efficient LED lighting, low‑consumption exterior lighting, and BREEAM In‑Use certification.
IDEA Spaces, the new tenant of the building, is an entrepreneurial community and one of the leading coworking networks in Lisbon, offering flexible, private and collaborative workspaces across four strategic locations in the city: Palácio Sotto Mayor, Saldanha, São Sebastião and Parque das Nações. The brand stands out for combining premium infrastructure with a strong community culture, promoting networking, events and collaboration opportunities among startups, freelancers and established companies.
With modern environments, abundant natural light and integrated services — including private offices, coworking areas, meeting rooms, reception, cafeteria and access to all locations — IDEA Spaces provides a work experience designed for productivity, comfort and professional growth.
Afonso Almeida Fernandes, Senior Consultant in the Office Department at C&W, commented: “The success of this lease at the Báltico Mar building reflects the owner’s commitment to investing in the quality of the asset and bringing it quickly to the market, offering companies a space that combines functionality, modernity and a strategic location.”
Paulo Henriques, Partner at B. Prime, stated: “IDEA Spaces was looking for a new location with the aim of renewing the image of its centre in Parque das Nações. To that end, they were seeking a modern, efficient, well‑located building capable of supporting the expansion of their services in the area. Báltico Mar emerged as the most suitable option to meet IDEA Spaces’ needs.”
In turn, Diogo Fabiana, CEO of IDEA Spaces, highlighted: “The Báltico Mar building truly reflects the commitment that IDEA Spaces intends to make in the coworking market, focusing on central locations embedded within service and transport hubs that make life easier for our members and are aligned with our investment in modern, sustainable technological infrastructure oriented towards well‑being. Our long‑standing partnership with B. Prime, which has supported the expansion of our brand, together with the healthy relationship with Cushman & Wakefield, made it possible for this step to be successfully completed.”
