Two investment theses

Lumini or Soleil: the choice depends on what you want to prioritize.

Both are located in Cabo Branco and built by MGA. The difference is in the buying thesis.

Lumini's rooftop with pool and city view Lumini

Lower down payment, longer construction timeline

A few minutes' walk from the waterfront, with rooftop and leisure structure.

The thesis is the lower entry price and the longer timeline to spread out capital before handover.

  • Size 19,73 a 28,48 m²
  • Starting at R$ 415.573 ≈ US$ 81,000
  • Down payment 2x de R$ 20.778,65
  • Monthly R$ 1.731,55 ≈ US$ 340
  • Registration R-2-165.147

Condition of the official MGA price table, August 2026. The payment flow also includes balloon installments and a final balance at handover.

Soleil's pool deck facing the sea Soleil

Beachfront and address scarcity

On the first block of Av. Cabo Branco, facing the ocean.

The thesis is the location that can't be reproduced later: the view, direct beach access and leisure facilities facing the sea.

  • Size 15,76 a 25,53 m²
  • Starting at R$ 486.366 ≈ US$ 95,000
  • Down payment 2x de R$ 24.318,32
  • Monthly R$ 3.242,44 ≈ US$ 630
  • Registration R-10-40.039
  • Permit 5088-24-JP-ALV

Condition of the official MGA price table, August 2026. The payment flow also includes balloon installments and a final balance at handover.

See Soleil Analyze a unit

The building can be good and the unit, bad

In the same development, floor and sun exposure change the purchase price and the nightly rate potential.

A price table can list dozens of similar-looking units. But east-facing, south-facing, floor, size and view don't deliver the same result. The right choice starts by comparing what you pay with what the guest values.

+17,4%

At Lumini, units with a similar floor plan change price depending on sun exposure and floor.

+20,6%

At Soleil, an east-facing unit costs 20.6% more per square meter than a south-facing unit on the same floor.

27,5%

is the average price gap per m² between beachfront and a few minutes from the waterfront. That gap is exactly Lumini's buying thesis.

Source for all three figures: official MGA price tables, August 2026.

Take a closer look at Lumini

Cabo Branco neighborhood. You can walk to the beach.

More infrastructure, a lower price per square meter and the beach a few minutes' walk away.

The rooftop brings together a pool with a shallow beach-style edge, a zen space, a bar and lounges. On the ground floor, a gym, coworking space, laundry room, playground and pet place extend the stay for anyone staying more than one night.

Where the circle marks it

Lumini sits within the neighborhood's fabric, a few minutes' walk from the sand. You see the waterfront, the block and the building in the same frame: that distance is exactly the thesis of paying less per m² without giving up the beach.

What the guest finds

  • Rooftop pool with a shallow edge
  • Zen space and lounges
  • Gym and coworking
  • Playground and pet place
  • Café and laundry room

The studio the guest rents

Same floor plan. Different exposures. Different numbers.

East and south facing change light, view and what the guest is willing to pay. The R.O.I. Consultation compares that before you choose.

+17,4%

Within the same building, similar units vary in price depending on floor and orientation. The analysis compares that premium with nightly rate potential, occupancy and resale.

The same floor plan can carry different prices.

+20,6%

On the 2nd floor, unit 201, facing east, costs 20.6% more per square meter than unit 206, facing south. The R.O.I. Consultation shows whether that premium makes sense for the nightly rate and the future exit.

Sun exposure and nightly rate

Whoever wakes up to sun on the balcony doesn't pay the same price, and doesn't charge the same nightly rate either. The analysis makes that difference explicit before the decision.

Demand beyond the summer

Beach, events and the sports calendar help spread demand across the year.

Cabo Branco draws leisure tourism, waterfront events and beach competitions in different months. That doesn't eliminate seasonality, but it creates more moments of demand than a market that depends only on the summer holidays and New Year's Eve.

A past event is not a guarantee of a future schedule. Each source and date stay visible alongside it.

Scenario, not a guarantee

You see what comes in, what goes out, and where the numbers stop working.

The analysis doesn't rely on a loose return figure. It opens up the assumptions: unit price, down payment, monthly installments, balloon payments, final balance, nightly rate, occupancy, management, condo fees, property tax, maintenance, financing and exit scenario.

01 · During construction

How much you pay out until handover

And which installments are still ahead, with balloon payments and final balance shown together in the same conversation.

02 · After the keys

How much the operation can generate after costs

Without treating occupancy or nightly rate as guaranteed. Assumptions are open, including a stress scenario.

03 · If you need to exit

Liquidity, risk and when not to buy

What the liquidity risks are, the effect of selling too early, and the scenario where it's better not to buy.

Example with Lumini

You put in roughly R$ 180,6 mil. The appreciation runs on the property's full R$ 415 mil.

Studio starting at R$ 415.573. Until the keys, about 40% of the price is paid, directly to the developer. After handover, the math changes: the property can go into short-term rental and your equity keeps working.

If you sell at handover

+51%

in the optimistic scenario · starting at +14% in the conservative one

On what came out of your pocket. In the optimistic scenario, equity at handover sits around R$ 311 mil. In the conservative one, around R$ 226 mil.

If you operate for 5 years

+443%

in the optimistic scenario · starting at +204% in the conservative one

The same capital shown over time, with appreciation running on the whole property, not just on the portion you already paid.

After the keys · short-term rental operation

The nightly rate covers the installment and still leaves cash left over each month.

Once you have the keys, the studio goes into short-term rental. In the portfolio monitored in Cabo Branco, the average operation already covers condo fees, management, property tax and maintenance, covers the financing installment, and leaves a monthly profit. Meanwhile, the equity keeps appreciating.

Revenue per year, on average

R$ 73 mil

≈ US$ 14,500

R$ 303 average nightly rate · 73% occupancy · 91 comparables

Left over per month, after costs

R$ 3.857

≈ US$ 760

Condo fees, management, property tax and maintenance deducted

Financing installment

R$ 2.726

≈ US$ 530

Price table · 30 years · Caixa's lowest walk-in rate

Monthly profit after the installment

R$ 1.131

≈ US$ 220

R$ 3.857 − R$ 2.726 · average portfolio scenario

Appreciation profit · at handover

Optimistic R$ 605,4 mil
Conservative R$ 520,5 mil

Estimated property value at handover. The profit shows up because you bought in with roughly R$ 180,6 mil out of pocket and captured the appreciation of the full asset.

Base: FipeZap João Pessoa · 15,15% a.a. (close of 2025) and 8,81% a.a. (12 months through Jul/2026)

Leverage · where the money works harder

Your capital grows 15,6% a 24,7% ao ano
The property appreciates 8,81% a 15,15% ao ano

The difference is leverage: the appreciation runs on R$ 415 mil, and you only put in roughly R$ 180,6 mil until handover.

Reference Selic rate: 14,25% a.a. at the June 17, 2026 Copom meeting. Projections are not a guarantee.

I want to receive my scenario

Illustrative scenario using Lumini's studio starting at R$ 415.573 and the MGA price table, August 2026. Operation: AirDNA and a proprietary portfolio of 91 comparables, August 2026. Financing: Price table at 11,19% a.a. + TR, 30 years, Caixa's lowest walk-in rate. FipeZap indices are city-wide, not neighborhood-specific. Projections are not a guarantee of results.

A remote decision, with the paperwork on the table

You don't need to be in João Pessoa to understand what you're buying.

The consultation organizes the development's documentation, the payment flow and the operation's assumptions in a single conversation. Before signing, the material can be reviewed by your own lawyer and accountant.

Buyer living abroad

In many cases, the purchase can be structured with a Brazilian tax ID, power of attorney and a regular international wire transfer. The exact path depends on your tax and legal situation, so final validation should be done with your lawyer and accountant.

Before you decide

The questions that need an answer before signing.

I don't promise returns, appreciation or scarcity. I show the assumptions, the costs and the scenario where the investment stops making sense.

What if the apartment sits empty?

That risk needs to be part of the math. The analysis uses different nightly rate and occupancy scenarios, including a stress scenario. If the investment only works when everything goes right, the recommendation is not to buy.

How much is left over after all the costs?

It depends on the unit and the operation. Management, condo fees, property tax, utilities, maintenance, taxes and vacancy all come out before the net result. You get the assumptions open, not just a final number.

How do I know I'm not overpaying?

By comparing the price per square meter, the floor, the sun exposure and the available units in the same building. If there's a price premium, the analysis shows what could justify it, and what's just table pricing.

I live far away. Will I need to manage the rental myself?

Not necessarily. Buying and operating are separate decisions. The analysis factors in professional management and shows the effect of that fee on the net result before the purchase.

What if construction runs late?

The contractual deadline, the built-in grace period and the developer's track record need to be checked. A delay means income arrives later, so that impact should show up in the scenario.

What is the final balance due at handover?

It's the portion of the price that's due when the property is handed over. A low monthly installment doesn't tell the whole story. Down payment, monthly installments, balloon payments, price adjustment and final balance need to appear together.

If I need to sell, can I get my money back?

Real estate has no immediate redemption. The analysis takes into account competition, time to sell, likely discount and assignment rules where applicable. If there's a real chance you'll need that capital in the short term, that weighs against buying.

Can I use the apartment for my own vacation?

You can, following the condo and operation rules. It's just that every blocked date stops generating a nightly rate. The consultation shows that cost so you can decide with the number in front of you.

I live outside Brazil. Can I buy without traveling there?

In many cases, yes, with a Brazilian tax ID, power of attorney and a regular international wire transfer. Since the structure changes based on tax residency and the origin of the funds, a lawyer and accountant should validate the process before signing.

Why trust this analysis?

You don't need to trust it without checking it. The assumptions stay open for review by your accountant, lawyer or another professional. Analysis that can't survive a second opinion shouldn't guide a purchase.
