Stonetouch, Historical Centre, Limassol

GPA Upgraded Homes is a Cyprus construction and development company building modern, energy-efficient homes across Limassol, Nicosia and Larnaca under the motto “High Quality, High Standards.” Its portfolio spans contemporary apartment buildings, a private-pool villa and a restored historic stone house — from Aurora Residence and #AKIO in Limassol to Sapphire I and Duopoly in Nicosia.

The Historical Centre is the old town of Limassol (Lemesos), the walkable heritage core wrapped around the medieval castle, the Lanitis Carob Mill complex and the Old Port, a short stroll from the Limassol Marina and the Molos seafront promenade. It is the city's most atmospheric quarter and its densest concentration of listed buildings — a protected conservation zone of stone townhouses, boutique blocks and new hotel-style residences threaded through streets like Anexartisias, Agiou Andreou, Gladstonos and Saripolou. Crucially for investors, the main campus of the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT/TEPAK) sits inside this district, occupying dozens of city-centre buildings, so student, faculty, professional and digital-nomad demand keeps rentals moving year-round rather than by season. For overseas buyers the framework is straightforward: any nationality can own freehold property in Cyprus, with title held at the Land Registry (Department of Lands & Surveys) and the sale contract lodged for specific-performance protection; non-EU buyers obtain routine Council of Ministers approval (typically 2–3 months). A qualifying new primary-market purchase from EUR 300,000 (plus EUR 50,000/yr income from abroad) opens EU permanent residency — a residence permit, not citizenship. Prices are quoted in euros, English is widely spoken, and English common law underpins conveyancing.
