Edifício Cap Ferrat.
One full-floor unit per floor, on Vieira Souto.
Ipanema · Rio de Janeiro
About the building
Edifício Cap Ferrat in brief.
Cap Ferrat is one full-floor apartment per floor — 16 units across 17 floors at Av. Vieira Souto 564, directly on the Ipanema beachfront. The name borrows from the Cap Ferrat peninsula in southeastern France; the plate size and frontage are the rationale for the building's standing among the most expensive addresses in Brazil.
Inventory is microscopic. Resales typically clear off-portal between brokers who specialize in the Vieira Souto strip — when listings do surface they're priced at the top end of the avenue and don't stay long.

History
How it got here.
Built in 1981 by Real Engenharia. The original architectural program was led by Roberto Migotto, who oriented the building around the single-floor-per-unit format that became its long-term identity.
In 2019 the building underwent a full façade retrofit by architect Juan Carlos Di Filippo. The original cladding was replaced with Dekton in sand tones tuned to harmonize with the colour of Ipanema's beach. Internal systems were modernized in parallel.
Cap Ferrat has anchored at the top of the carioca luxury building lists for four decades; the 2019 retrofit reset the building's modern relevance without changing its formative architectural language.
