Landmark building

About the building

Maison du Soleil sits on one of the most-photographed stretches of Avenida Delfim Moreira, Leblon's beach avenue, between Posto 11 and Posto 12, with the sand right out front. It runs eleven floors with just two apartments per floor — large layouts and one of the lowest unit counts of any building on the avenue.

Ownership leans toward multi-generational Leblon families and senior executives who keep the apartments as full-time homes. Turnover is rare; when something does list, it tends to be a quiet, high-ticket sale.

Address: Av. Delfim Moreira 770, Leblon, Rio de Janeiro

The history of Edifício Maison du Soleil

Completed in 1974, during the building boom that followed the city rules allowing taller construction along the Zona Sul beachfront. The two-per-floor format signaled early on that Leblon would settle into a lower-density, higher-price pattern than the towers rising in Copacabana at the same time.

The building has kept its original architectural character since it opened. Common areas and the façade have been refreshed over time, and security now runs 24/7 access control with cameras, alarms and visitor screening.
