The most consistent real estate story in South America — value migrating down the coast, chapter by chapter.
Balneário Camboriú · SC
Twenty years ago, Balneário Camboriú was a quiet beach town. Today it holds the highest property values per m² in Latin America — ahead of São Paulo, ahead of Rio. The skyline that now rivals Dubai was built on one simple fact: people with money wanted to be near this water.
The investors who moved early are sitting on generational gains. That window has closed — but it opened another one, 30km south.
Itapema · SC
When Balneário Camboriú saturated, smart capital moved 30km south. Itapema is now precisely where BC was in 2010 — same coastline, same infrastructure trajectory, the same energy that preceded a decade of compounding returns.
Buyers who recognised the pattern early have averaged 110% gains in under a decade. The pattern is repeating. Rocks has been positioned here since before it became obvious.
Florianópolis · SC
The island capital of Santa Catarina. International airport, tech hub, university city, 42 beaches — and property prices still at 40% of Balneário Camboriú per m². The story is being written right now.
The buyers moving now are getting in before the market catches up. Rocks Investments has been on the ground here since 2012. This is where the next chapter begins.
Porto Belo · SC
The quiet fishing village phase is over. VivaPark Porto Belo — Brazil's first smart park neighbourhood — and All Resort Porto Belo are rewriting what's possible on the Emerald Coast. Neymar's family invested here. The infrastructure is landing. The story is just beginning.
This is the ground floor. Rocks Investments is already positioning international clients in Porto Belo's pre-launch pipeline — before the broader market catches on.

At 500 metres, Senna Tower is the world's tallest residential building — Lalalli Senna's concept, not another generic high-rise. We project around 40% appreciation before completion; entry from R$28 million. I bring Southern Cone family-office clients here when Punta del Este pricing has run its course — same stability discipline, but this skyline still has room. Rocks holds priority allocations; inventory is released to qualified buyers only.

Answers to the questions every serious international buyer asks — before the lawyers, before the wire.
Yes — foreigners hold the exact same ownership rights as Brazilian citizens for urban real estate. You need a valid passport and a CPF (Brazilian Tax ID). Our legal team obtains your CPF remotely within 48 hours. No visit to Brazil required.
No residency or visa is required to buy, own, or rent out property anywhere in Brazil. The inverse is also true — buying a qualifying asset over R$1,000,000 can qualify you for the VIPER investor visa: a 4-year temporary residency authorization that converts to permanent with maintained investment.
Funds must be wired through a Brazilian institution and registered with the Central Bank (BACEN) via a CEC declaration. This registration is mandatory for the VIPER visa and protects your right to repatriate profits. We coordinate this end-to-end with our authorised FX partners.
Brazil's investor residency visa, governed by CNIg Normative Resolution No. 36/2018 (amended by Resolution 46/2022). Minimum R$1,000,000 in urban real estate, title in your name, BACEN-registered foreign capital. Grants a 4-year temporary residency that converts to permanent for you and your family, MERCOSUL free movement, and full profit repatriation rights. We manage the entire application.
Budget approximately 4–6% on top of the purchase price: ITBI transfer tax (2–3%), notary and registration fees (~1.5%), and legal representation (~1%). There is no capital gains tax on a primary residence sale. Rental income is taxed at a flat 15% for non-residents via the Carnê-Leão system.
Yes. We offer full STR management — Airbnb listing, guest operations, maintenance, and monthly yield reporting. The entire acquisition can also be completed remotely via an apostilled Power of Attorney, meaning you never need to set foot in Brazil to own and earn.
Balneário Camboriú beachfront averages 10–13% gross STR yield. Florianópolis premium apartments run 8–11%. Itapema new-build delivers 9–12% during construction and stabilises at 8–10% post-delivery. These figures are pre-tax, pre-management-fee. We model net yield for every asset we recommend.
CPF: 48 hours. Shortlist delivery: 24–48 hours after your brief. Legal due diligence: 2–3 weeks. Notarisation and title transfer: 30–60 days. VIPER visa application: 60–90 days post-purchase. We run all tracks in parallel — most clients go from first call to keys in under 90 days.
