Barra da Tijuca
Rio · Zona Sul & West

Barra da Tijuca.

The American-style residential strip — 14 km of beachfront towers.

About the area

Newer construction, gated condos, schools, malls — and the longest beach in Rio.

Barra trades Zona Sul charm for amenities. Larger apartments, gated complexes, international schools, and a 14-kilometer beach.

Our Barra book centers on the beachfront condos at Praia da Barra, plus the gated Marapendi enclaves for buyers wanting house-with-amenity living without leaving the city.
