The eastern edge of Parque das Nações follows the river Tagus as it meanders north. Once a neighborhood victim to industrialization, the area witnessed major alterations on account of Expo ‘98. Expo '98 was a world fair hosted in Lisbon with the theme, “The Oceans, a heritage for the Future”.

This neighborhood has now become a futuristic, commercial hotspot. This has sent property prices in Parque das Nações soaring. Due to competition and the high cost of this Lisbon neighborhood, the vast majority of remote workers and expats have been priced out of the area. Nether-the-less, tourists continue to visit Parque das Nações. Often, drawn to the large shopping center and impressive structures.
