About the building
Edifício Princesa da Lagoa in brief.
Princesa da Lagoa sits on Avenida Epitácio Pessoa 3930 — the lagoon-edge avenue that wraps Rodrigo de Freitas with Corcovado behind it. Apartments range from compact two-bedrooms at 90 m² up to large five-bedroom plates at 145 m², all looking either onto the lagoon, the Sugarloaf line in the distance, or the Corcovado backdrop.
Lagoa is Rio's quietest mid-luxury address — bigger floor plans than the beach neighborhoods for the same money, with the 7.5 km lagoon loop at the door. Princesa da Lagoa is one of the more recognized residential addresses on the avenue and a fixture of broker rotations for this exact buyer profile.

History
How it got here.
Delivered around 1980, during the build-out of the Epitácio Pessoa lagoon-front avenue. The building has been in continuous residential use for over four decades, with progressive infrastructure renewals — piped gas was retrofitted in the 2010s wave.
Common-area refreshes have stayed within the original architectural language; the building's identifying feature has remained the wraparound view band across the lagoon and toward Corcovado.
