The house and garden of Lourdes Castro and Manuel Zimbro in Madeira are for sale

Expresso4 September 2026 at 12:17

The house and garden that Lourdes Castro and Manuel Zimbro created on the island of Madeira are for sale for 4.1 million euros. The property represents a space of artistic creation linked to the life and work of one of the most important Portuguese artists of the 20th century. Lourdes Castro, native to Madeira, is recognized for her work in the field of art, having shared life and artistic creation with Manuel Zimbro. The sale of this property comes at a time when the possible creation of a house-museum dedicated to the legacy of Lourdes Castro is being debated, which could preserve the space as testimony to her artistic trajectory. The asking price for the property reflects both its location in Madeira and the cultural and historical significance that the space represents for contemporary Portuguese art.

Talked-about intersection on International Drive could get new look with luxury promenade

Orange County, Florida, is in advanced negotiations to make the I-Drive Promenade project viable, which aims to redesign the intersection of International Drive and Sand Lake Road in Orlando. The estimated investment is $19.4 million through a public-private partnership, led by businessman Joshua Wallack. The project includes wider sidewalks, landscaping, fountains, public spaces, and art, as well as relocation of underground infrastructure. The Wallack family will donate approximately 25,332 square feet of land to the county. The promenade will complement an already-approved elevated pedestrian bridge ($35 million), given that the intersection recorded 661 accidents between 2017 and 2022. If approved, construction is expected to begin in early 2028 and finish in the third quarter of 2029.
