In statements following the signing of the agreement, the Minister of Infrastructure and Housing, Miguel Pinto Luz, detailed the nine buildings, some historic and "emblematic," that will be divested by the State. Among them is the former headquarters of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, where the Executive met symbolically to discuss and approve housing measures.

The remaining properties are properties that have already served the Ministry of Education and various general directorates and general secretariats, and the government's plan is to have them ready for sale "by the summer" of next year.

"There are assets that don't make sense (...) to have within the State's sphere, due to their geographic location and potential for maximising revenue," he explained.

The government also approved the creation of a public-private partnership instrument for managing public assets.

The properties that will be placed under this instrument—under concession—include land in the municipalities of Lisbon (seven), Amadora (two), Porto (one), Almada (one), Oeiras (one), Albufeira (one), and Faro (one).

"Estamo will launch (...) public tenders for concessions, not alienations, concessions of this property, with extended terms," ​​the minister explained, adding that the IHRU (Institute of Housing and Urban Rehabilitation) will be responsible for managing the rents, ensuring "a healthy threshold that reaches the middle class."

"These public-private partnerships aim to quickly place municipalities and the private sector on the side, because the government and the state cannot build dozens and dozens and dozens of properties alone," he stated.
