Uptown 2 combines five floors of apartments with a basement for cars and storage, on Rua da Torre close to the centre of Machico. The site lies only about 30 metres above sea level, and the town’s bus station is roughly 190 m from the entrance.
Outside, a children’s playground is set among planted grounds, and two lifts run from the garage up to every floor. Each home is sold with its own storage room downstairs as well as parking.
Layouts range from one-bedroom apartments of about 80 m² to a top-floor penthouse whose terrace carries a hot tub facing the bay. Upper-floor homes open onto balconies, and at ground level a T2 layout adds a private yard.

The apartments
Living and dining spaces come to 25–32 m² across the layouts. Kitchens take 10–15 m², and the bedrooms vary from 12 to 19 m².
- T1 · about 80 m² · 1 bed, 1 bath
- T2 · 112–214 m² · 2 bed, 2 bath (1 private)
- T3 · on the ground floor or as the top-floor penthouse; the penthouse is about 278 m² · 3 bed, 2 bath (1 private)
Figures are gross, so they take in balconies, the ground-floor yard and the penthouse terrace; treat them as provisional until handover.

Uptown 2 has room for different stages of life: an 80 m² T1 to start out, a ground-floor T2 with its own yard for a family that wants a playground downstairs and a primary school round the corner, and a penthouse with a large terrace for those who want space outdoors. The bay is a short walk from all of them.
