A 28,400 sqm development site in modern Lisbon is home to the future of education, in a campus community that will be the first of its kind. The leading piece is a new international school, which is designed to prepare the next generation for tomorrow’s world. The United Lisbon International School opened in September 2020 and is growing. We have kickstarted our vision to create an ecosystem where students, educators, innovators and creators connect in the pursuit of lifelong learning. In revitalized industrial buildings, the campus has just come to life a new spaces for learning - the United Lisbon International School. The 2nd phase being built out will be for working and living. The whole campus will also enjoy common facilities for work, leisure and sport: it has outdoor and indoor sports pitches; it will soon have an indoor sports hall/ auditorium; a central square; an all day café and more. Lisbon is a cosmopolitan city that boasts quality of life, community and culture, there are few places in the world that compare to this modern European capital. The city is "just right" - not too big and not too small. Its increasingly global appeal has made this a top destination for students, as well as companies and families looking for new horizons. The development is in an expansion corridor for commerce and culture, in the trending neighbourhood of Marvila, right next door to Expo/ Parque das Nações (the Park of Nations). The development is in a position to serve growth from this established center as well as the urban renewal vision that spreads up the riverside from historic Lisbon, through Beato.
