The investment
Marvila Studios brings a hospitality investment within reach from €140,000. You own the studio; the operator manages the accommodation through a 10-year leaseback.
The project
Marvila Studios is part of Edu Hub Lisbon, alongside United Lisbon International School and the Global Learning Hub, which provides campus facilities for international universities and education providers to deliver their programmes in Lisbon.
The accommodation model is designed to serve academic stays alongside professional and leisure visits across the year. Martinhal will manage the hospitality operation.

The demand behind the concept
Independent research points to a substantial shortage of student accommodation in Lisbon. This provides context for Marvila Studios’ academic demand strategy, alongside its professional and short-stay hospitality offering.

The approved Marvila–Beato urban regeneration framework includes new homes, public spaces and neighbourhood connections. Lisbon City Council describes approximately 14 hectares of planned green areas, including a new urban park.
The planned 16E tram would improve connections along East Lisbon’s riverfront. It is a future project, not an operating service. Regeneration and infrastructure plans may change and do not guarantee capital appreciation. View the council’s 16E project information.
Studios combine a private bathroom, kitchenette and integrated storage with spaces to work, study and spend time together.

The people behind the project
Founded by Chitra and Roman Stern, the Martinhal group has built a portfolio across hospitality, residential development and education over 25 years in Portugal.
Its projects include Martinhal Sagres in the Algarve, Martinhal Chiado and Martinhal Oriente in Lisbon, and Martinhal Residences in Parque das Nações. The Sterns also established United Lisbon International School, which opened in 2020.
Marvila Studios is designed by award-winning Portuguese architect Eduardo Capinha Lopes, a Chartered Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). His work spans hospitality, residential and commercial developments, including previous projects with the group such as Martinhal Residences and United Lisbon International School.
Marvila Studios brings that development and hospitality experience into the Edu Hub Lisbon campus.
Your questions
The advertised offer is a 4% annual rental return over a 10-year leaseback, before tax. Management fees, service charges and utilities are covered by the operator during that term. The contractual documents determine the calculation basis, start date, payment schedule and guarantee obligations. Ask for the identity of the contractual counterparty and the guarantee provisions. Payment depends on that counterparty meeting its obligations; property value and resale proceeds are not guaranteed.
The current target for completion is September 2027. Rental income is currently scheduled to begin six months after handover, subject to the leaseback terms. Confirm the start date and the effect of any completion delay in the contractual documents.
The studios form part of a centrally managed hospitality operation and are not intended as permanent homes. Owner stays are subject to the leaseback’s availability, allocation and usage rules. Ask the team to explain the current entitlement and whether a stay would be in your own studio.
You can speak to the sales team remotely and request the investment documents before arranging a visit. Ask for the purchase process, payment stages and required documentation. Prices and the advertised return are expressed in euros, so the value in your home currency will vary with exchange rates. Independent advice can help you understand your own tax and legal position.
