Investment Opportunities

With the stock market in such an unpredictable state, and banks and pension plans offering minimal returns, there has never been a better time to invest in Bricks & Mortar.

Brazil welcomes and encourages foreign investments without discrimination. Overseas investors can participate in a wide range of economic activities, directly or indirectly, through various mechanisms including limited companies.
As the largest and most populous country in South America, and leading economic power, it continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior.

Those who had an early vision and invested into residential or commercial estate in Brazil in the past few years, have seen very attractive appreciation of their property, and strong rental yield returns frequently in the double digits. With its near-perfect climate of 26C/78F all year around, the north-eastern coast draws tourists 12 months a year.
And that makes it a smart choice for better than average returns.

With the development of The Coconut Beach Resort, Pitimbu and the area around it are likely to take off much as Buzios, near Rio, or Torremolinos, Ibiza and Rhodes did in Europe, in the 1960s and 70s.

The difference is that development here is set to proceed in a much more sustainable and, arguably, more tasteful manner. The eco-friendly philosophy of the local government and developers ensures that the area will retain its charming simplicity and enviable environment in the long-term as well. After all, this is what drew people here in the first place...

Many empty beaches, backed by gently sloping hills overlooking the ocean
No mass tourism
No city noise, discos, tourist-buses, shopping malls or traffic jams...
...instead: a few basic shops, the local doctor, some bars and small restaurants - and fresh fish from the ocean every day!
only 60 minutes to Recife International Airport
40 minutes to Joao Pessoa Airport

As interest in the region grows and demand from an ever-growing affluent urban population to escape the city ‘rat-race' increases, property values in this part of the world are set to increase significantly.

The Residential Condominium is very attractive opportunity for short-term rentals.
It offers all the benefits of 100% ownership whilst maintenance, tax, and security matters will be dealt with by the resort management.

This arrangement in no way limits investors from selling their properties at a time of their choosing: units can be put on the market at any time - even during the building period.
