70 years creating the Energy of the future | Ep. 04 – “Amoreiras Shopping Center”

The Amoreiras Complex is an office and housing complex located in Lisbon, built in the 1980s, which includes the Amoreiras Shopping Center. Opened in 1985, the Amoreiras Complex is, still today, one of the most distinguished real estate projects in the capital, thanks to its extension and its bold architecture for the time it was designed.

Amoreiras Shopping Center was the first large commercial area in an urban environment in Portugal and, at the time, the largest in the country and one of the largest in Europe. This commercial space brings together around 240 stores distributed over 2 floors.

In the construction of Amoreiras Shopping Center, Sotécnica was the company responsible for carrying out the electrical installations, not only for the common service spaces, but also for the stores in the shopping center. Thanks to the success of Sotécnica’s teams in this contract and all the know-how acquired with this pioneering project, Sotécnica launched itself into a new market segment, winning new projects for technical installations in shopping surfaces from north to south of the country in the decades that followed.The opening of Amoreiras Shopping Center transformed the consumption dynamics of the portuguese population, whom until then shopped in the street commerce, by concentrating a diverse range of retailers and service operators in a single development.
