One full-floor apartment on each floor, on Vieira Souto.
Landmark buildingCap Ferrat gives over a single full-floor apartment to each level — 16 units stacked across 17 floors at Av. Vieira Souto 564, sitting right on the Ipanema beachfront. The name comes from the Cap Ferrat peninsula in the south of France. The combination of full-floor plates and direct ocean frontage is why it ranks among the priciest addresses in the country.
Almost nothing comes up for sale here. Resales tend to move quietly between brokers who work the Vieira Souto strip, and the rare public listing sits at the top of the avenue's price band and sells fast.
Address: Av. Vieira Souto 564, Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro
The building went up in 1981, developed by Real Engenharia. Architect Roberto Migotto led the original design and set up the one-apartment-per-floor layout that has defined the building ever since.
In 2019 the façade was fully reclad by architect Juan Carlos Di Filippo, who swapped the original surface for Dekton in sand tones chosen to match the color of Ipanema's beach, with the building systems updated at the same time. The retrofit modernized the building without altering its original character.
