The revitalization of the Brava and Cabeçudas beachfronts in Itajaí will reaffirm the city as one of the leading real estate markets. The project represents a strategic movement that improves quality of life, strengthens tourism and directly drives appreciation in the region.


With investments in mobility, infrastructure, landscaping and the requalification of public spaces, Itajaí is consolidating an increasingly attractive setting for investors, residents and luxury developments.

Urban revitalization and real estate appreciation go hand in hand

Large urban revitalization projects have historically had a positive impact on real estate. When public areas offer better infrastructure, mobility and qualified urban experiences, the surroundings tend to see increased demand and appreciation per square meter.


This movement can already be seen in Itajaí. The city, home to one of Santa Catarina’s largest GDPs and a major logistics and port hub, is also expanding its prominence in the high-end real estate segment.


In addition to waterfront revitalization, other factors driving the municipality’s real estate growth include:

  • consistent economic development;
  • growth in high-end tourism;
  • qualified gastronomy and services;
  • expanding urban infrastructure;
  • quality of life associated with the coast.

The result is a city increasingly desired both for living and for wealth investment.

The impact of lifestyle on appreciation

Today’s high-end buyer seeks more than a privileged location. They seek life experiences. Therefore, urban projects that strengthen the relationship between city, nature and well-being begin to have a direct influence on property appreciation.


In this sense, waterfront revitalizations add value by providing greater quality of life, encouraging active mobility, enhancing the landscape, stimulating commerce and gastronomy and strengthening the local real estate market.


It is in this context that developments integrated with their surroundings and connected to the coastal lifestyle, such as ABF | Vaccaro projects, tend to stand out even more in the coming years.


This is because the developer believes urban development should move alongside human experience, creating projects that value not only wealth, but also how people live and relate to the city.
