Twenty years ago, the Bom Sucesso Resort (BSR) project was shown to the public for the first time at an event in the Centro Cultural de Belém (Lisbon). After the event, there was a multi-day exhibition showing models of the houses in Phase One. A catalog called “14 Arquitectos: Projectos do Bom Sucesso Resort” was also published.
(Catalog which is the first publication of Bom Sucesso can be downloaded here)
At that time, the project’s promoter said it took 12 years to get the legal approval for the development. Bom Sucesso Resort was advertised as the largest exhibition of contemporary architecture, which is true. But some other promises were not kept. For example, they said BSR would become “the top reference in Europe for luxury real estate developments” and that the project would be finished in five years.
Special about Bom Sucesso is the modern lifestyle and the wonderful international community. We hope that one day the project will be completed as the amazing architectural icon it was meant to be.

It is great to live with you at Bom Sucesso, Happy Birthday!
