Funchal closer to taking possession of abandoned building

The Funchal City Council has taken another step towards taking administrative possession of the unfinished building located at numbers 34 and 36 on Rua da Infância, in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, whose expropriation had already been decided by the municipality. The property, with 1,691 square meters, has had its works stopped for about 17 years. The advance is contained in Edict No. 788/2026, published today, through which the municipality implements procedures associated with the declaration of urgent public utility for expropriation.
