About this Property
Listed by Rocks Investments
A meticulously designed studio residence in Ipanema — Rio's most coveted address — where contemporary architecture meets Golden Visa eligibility and enduring capital appreciation.
The Opportunity
This 45 m² studio apartment within the IPA Studios Design development represents a strategic entry point into one of the world’s most expensive residential markets. Delivered in 2025, the residence features a streamlined one-bedroom layout with central air conditioning, engineered for both owner occupancy and optimized short-term rental performance. Floor-to-ceiling transparency and considered finishes reflect the modernist ethos of Ipanema’s architectural lineage.
The development itself is a vertical resort: a rooftop infinity-edge pool commands panoramic vistas, complemented by wet deck, dual saunas, hydromassage facilities, and a support bar. Ground-floor amenities include a 24-hour smart minimarket, coworking suites with dedicated meeting rooms, a gourmet lounge available for private events, and a self-service laundry. Surfboard and bicycle storage acknowledge the neighborhood’s active lifestyle, while a secure delivery space and elevator access ensure frictionless urban living.
Priced at R$ 2,283,648, this unit qualifies for Brazil’s Golden Visa (VIPER) program, offering investors a pathway to residency alongside tangible asset ownership in a market historically insulated from volatility.
The Investment Case
Ipanema requires no introduction. Established in 1894 by the Earl of Ipanema and connected to the city by tram in 1902, the neighborhood has evolved into a global benchmark for beachfront urbanism — a place where Bossa Nova was born and where international capital has long sought refuge. Positioned at 1,117 Rua Prudente de Morais, the development sits moments from the iconic Ipanema Beach, surrounded by Michelin-recognized dining, flagship boutiques, and the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas.
The investment case is threefold: scarcity (Ipanema’s zoning restricts new supply), liquidity (sustained demand from both Brazilian and international buyers), and yield (short-term rental premiums driven by year-round tourism). Infrastructure improvements ahead of recent global events have further cemented the neighborhood’s status as a safe-haven asset class. For the discerning investor seeking both lifestyle and portfolio diversification, this studio offers a rare combination of pedigree, location, and visa-linked utility.
