FAQ — Beachfront pre-launch in Balneário Piçarras

15 frequently asked questions from international investors about the project, the buying process and post-delivery operation.

The project

1. What is this project exactly?

A true beachfront residential complex in Barra Norte, Balneário Piçarras, on Avenida Beira-Mar in the Itacolomi neighborhood. 14,000 m² of land, 220 m of ocean frontage, with studios and 2-, 3-, and 4-suite apartments — all with permanent ocean views. It is the only available beachfront site for residential development in the city.

2. When is the official launch?

June 12, 2026. Until then, a priority list operates with pre-launch terms and priority unit selection. After launch, inventory opens to the general market and prices reset.

3. Who is the developer?

One of Santa Catarina's leading real-estate companies, with 36 years of operation, 110+ delivered projects, 730,000 m² built, and R$ 4.5 billion in historical sales volume. Its dedicated coastal arm was created in 2020/2021 with landbank acquired in Piçarras, Itapema, Porto Belo, Barra Velha and Perequê. Full identification is shared after commercial contact.

4. What unit types and sizes?

Studios from ~30 m², 2-suite apartments from ~70 m², 3-suite from ~110 m², 4-suite/penthouses from ~160 m². Floor plans, terraces and amenity areas are detailed in the commercial study sent to registrants.

Investment and numbers

5. What is the price range?

The pre-launch m² positions in the R$ 15,000–25,000/m² range (smart-entry phase), versus R$ 45,000–80,000 in central Balneário Camboriú and R$ 50,000–65,000 in Itapema's new beachfront. Per-unit pricing is shared after registration.

6. What ROI is expected?

Conservatively: 12–18% annually for studios, 10–15% for 2-suites, 8–12% for 3+ suites — calculated via short-stay rental (Airbnb/Booking) based on 2024–2025 corridor data. True beachfront with permanent views historically exceeds these ranges by 30–50%.

7. And m² appreciation?

The Itapema–BC corridor appreciated 57% since 2020 and ~25% annually in 2023–2025. The conservative projection for Piçarras in the 2026–2030 cycle, with partial price convergence and the delivery of infrastructure, is in the 80–200% upside range. Not a guarantee — it is the historical regional cycle read.

8. What does the payment schedule look like?

Typical pre-launch model: 30–40% during construction in monthly or quarterly installments with INCC, 10–20% in semi-annual balloon payments, and 40–60% at delivery (cash, bank financing, or transfer to a financing bank). Exact schedule in the commercial study.

For international buyers

9. Can I buy as a foreigner?

Yes. No visa or residency required. The only formal requirement is the CPF (Brazilian tax ID), obtainable through Brazilian consulates or online. See the full guide for foreign buyers.

10. Do I need to travel to Brazil to sign?

Not strictly. Remote signature via power of attorney is possible. A visit is recommended to see the site, region, and team. Many international clients combine the signature with a long weekend in Florianópolis or Camboriú.

11. How do I send money from abroad?

International SWIFT wire transfers (bank-to-bank) in BRL, licensed FX brokers, or a Brazilian non-resident bank account (possible with CPF). All options are legal and declared. Keep transfer records for future repatriation.

12. How does repatriation work if I sell?

Brazil has free movement of registered capital. If the funds entered legally, they exit legally. Rental income can also be remitted abroad monthly, net of withholding tax.

Operation and post-delivery

13. Who manages short-stay rental?

There are short-stay management companies in the Piçarras–Camboriú–Itapema corridor with Airbnb/Booking experience and multilingual service. They typically offer turnkey contracts at 20–35% of gross revenue, including cleaning, maintenance and check-in. Recommendations shared after registration.

14. And resale liquidity?

High. The beachfront product is the most liquid category in the corridor — especially studios and 2-suite units. Resale can occur during construction (contract assignment) or post-delivery. The Santa Catarina north coast has a track record of fast resale on consolidated launches.

15. What is the expected delivery timeline?

Typical construction timeline for projects of this scale (beachfront, large lots, full amenities): 30 to 42 months from launch. Exact schedule is contractually fixed and publicly tracked.
