Bronze Ipanema Studios: 70 compact units one block from the beach
A single building on a 508 m² lot on Prudente de Morais — the street between the heart of Ipanema and the sand. There are 70 units: 41 m² suites, 46 and 52 m² studios, garden units from 54 to 66 m² and three single-level penthouses with an open-air terrace and 4,5 m ceilings. On the rooftop, an infinity-edge pool facing the sea at Arpoador, with a gourmet area, steam sauna and sun deck.
Five different products in the same building
There are eight units per floor, four per elevator core, split between suites, studios and single-level penthouses. Every floor repeats the same layout, so the column defines the product: columns 03 and 07 are the 52 m² studios, and columns 01, 02, 05 and 06 are the 46 m² ones. The three garden units are on the raised ground floor, and the three single-level penthouses are on the rooftop. The sizes below are private areas, according to the floor plans in the official material.

From the bronze of Arpoador to the rooftop, told by the architects
Safira’s official film shows the façade, the lobby, the rooftop and the units, with Fernando Costa and Celso Rayol, of Cité Arquitetura, explaining their design choices — the warm palette, the light well with planters and the infinity-edge pool.
One building, a 508 m² lot and all the amenities at either end
Bronze organizes the building on three levels. The lower level holds the indoor social areas: lounge, honest market, game room with a pool table, fitness room, laundry and bike storage for 70 bicycles. The raised ground floor has the lobby with its striking ceiling height, the meeting room, the delivery room, the security airlock and the three garden units. On the rooftop are the infinity-edge pool, the gourmet area, the steam sauna and the sun deck — the level with the sea view.
Infinity-edge pool facing the sea
On the rooftop, the water extends into the Arpoador horizon. Next to it are a gourmet area, steam sauna and sun deck. According to architect Celso Rayol, the infinity edge is there to bring the meeting of sky and sea into the project.
Honest market and laundry on the lower level
The lower-level lounge comes with an honest market, a game room with a pool table, a fitness room and a shared laundry — services that take the place of square meters inside the unit.
Bike storage for 70 bicycles, one per unit
The project includes 70 bicycle spaces, with an air compressor. It is a building designed for people who get around on foot, by bike or by metro — Praça General Osório is a few minutes’ walk away.
Security designed by Haganá
A security airlock at the pedestrian entrance, digital access control and a main entrance with a striking ceiling height. The security design is by Haganá, the same firm behind Safira’s other developments.
The highest level is the one with the sea
A 508 m² lot has no room for a resort-style complex, and Safira did not try to build one. It placed the leisure areas made for enjoying the view at the top: an infinity-edge pool facing Arpoador, a gourmet area, a steam sauna with a view and a sun deck. The three single-level penthouses share this same floor, each with its own open-air terrace and 4,5 m ceilings. The common areas are delivered equipped and furnished, with interiors by Cité Arquitetura and landscaping by Maíra Duarte and Kaio Duarte.

Small units in Ipanema, with a rental operator already available
Bronze is built around the unit size that turns over fastest in Ipanema, and the material already names an operator: Lobie, which manages subscription housing and short stays in small units in central locations. It is not a service of mine nor an income guarantee — it is a structure the developer offers to investor buyers, and joining is up to each owner.
Integration and transparency
Online bookings flow automatically into the operator’s PMS, and owners follow the results of their own unit on the building’s sales dashboards.
Contactless check-in and check-out
Proprietary guest check-in and check-out technology, with app-based access control and pay-per-use services.
Algorithm-based pricing
The nightly rate is set by demand algorithms rather than a fixed rate card — the same principle the neighborhood’s hotels use.
Your calendar stays yours
Use of the unit is unlimited: owners block any dates they like on the calendar and use the apartment whenever they want.
Lobie reports more than 45,000 units under management, more than 10 million m² built and around 2,000 employees, in a group with over 89 years in the market. Figures provided by the company itself in the development’s material. Hiring the operator, its fees and the usage rules are handled directly between the owner and Lobie, and building management depends on a vote at the owners’ meeting. No revenue or return projection is offered here, and short-term rental depends on the condominium bylaws and the municipal legislation in force.
Rua Prudente de Morais, 261
Prudente de Morais is the first street behind Vieira Souto: on one side, the beach one block away; on the other, the heart of Ipanema. Within the same few blocks are Praça Nossa Senhora da Paz, Visconde de Pirajá with the neighborhood’s street shopping, and Praça General Osório, with the metro station and the Sunday Hippie Fair. It is an address where a car is optional — and the building was designed that way, with bike storage instead of a garage.
The official data
Everything below comes from the technical sheet and the specifications document in the developer’s official material.
Images are for illustration only, as the property is yet to be built — composition elements may change in color, shape, texture and size. The private units and common areas will be delivered according to the final construction design and the Specifications Document (Memorial Descritivo), which prevails over any other material in case of conflict. The rendered floor plans show suggested furnishing: furniture, wood countertops, appliances, partitions, plants and decorative objects are not part of the contract. The design may vary in columns, beams and electrical and plumbing installations due to technical, structural, municipal or utility-company requirements. Dimensions are finished, wall to wall, according to ABNT NBR 15.575, and the areas shown are private areas, according to NBR 12.721. Decorative elements and façade colors on the balconies may vary by floor or column. Units are delivered with air-conditioning infrastructure; purchasing and installing the equipment is the buyer’s responsibility. Sizes, unit types, prices and terms according to the seller’s official sales material, subject to change without notice.
What people ask me most about Bronze Ipanema
How much does an apartment at Bronze Ipanema cost?
The sales price list for Bronze Ipanema Studios is not in the development’s marketing material, and I do not publish a price I cannot confirm. I work with the seller’s official price list: tell me which unit type interests you — 41 m² suite, 46 or 52 m² studio, garden unit or single-level penthouse — and I will send the price, availability and payment schedule, updated the same day.
Where exactly is it?
At Rua Prudente de Morais, 261, in Ipanema. Prudente de Morais is the first street behind Av. Vieira Souto, which means the building is one block from the sand. Within the same few blocks are Praça Nossa Senhora da Paz, Visconde de Pirajá and Praça General Osório, with the metro station. Postal code (CEP) 22420-041.
What are the unit sizes and how many units are there?
There are 70 units and one retail space, in a single building on a 508 m² lot. Private areas range from 41 to 66 m²: a 41 m² suite, 46 and 52 m² studios, garden studios of 54, 59 and 66 m² on the raised ground floor (units 102, 101 and 103) and three single-level penthouses on the rooftop, from 50 to 66 m², with an open-air terrace and 4,5 m ceilings. The retail space is 66 m².
Does Bronze Ipanema have parking?
No. The technical sheet provides 70 bicycle spaces — one per unit, with an air compressor — and no car spaces. It is a design choice consistent with the address: one block from the beach, with the metro and the Visconde de Pirajá shops within walking distance. If a parking space is essential for you, let me know: I have other addresses in Ipanema with a deeded parking space.
When will it be completed?
The expected completion date is not in the marketing material I received. I confirm the date with Safira’s sales office and send it to you in writing, together with the price list — I would rather check than guess a deadline.
What amenities does it have?
The amenities are split between the rooftop and the lower level. On the rooftop: an infinity-edge pool facing the sea, gourmet area, steam sauna and sun deck. On the lower level: lounge, honest market, game room with a pool table, fitness room, laundry and bike storage. The raised ground floor also has a lobby with a striking ceiling height, a meeting room, a delivery room and a security airlock. The common areas are delivered equipped and furnished.
Who designed the project?
The architecture, façade and common-area interiors are by Cité Arquitetura, with Fernando Costa on architecture and Celso Rayol on interiors. Landscaping is by Maíra Duarte and Kaio Duarte, and the security design is by Haganá. Safira Engenharia is the developer and builder.
Is a studio in Ipanema worth buying as an investment?
It is the product Bronze was designed for, and the material already names the rental operator, Lobie, with automatic booking integration, contactless check-in, algorithm-based pricing and the option for owners to block the calendar and use the unit. What matters in the math is the purchase price, the condominium fees, the operator’s fee and actual occupancy in the neighborhood — none of this is an income guarantee. I run those numbers with you before you decide.
Do you consider offers?
Yes. We consider offers on all units. Send yours on WhatsApp at +55 (21) 96684-4828, with the amount and the payment method, and I will present it to the seller and get back to you with the answer.
Can foreigners buy property in Brazil?
Yes. Foreigners can buy urban property in Brazil, even without living in the country. You need a CPF (the Brazilian individual taxpayer number), which can be requested at a Brazilian consulate, and the purchase is recorded at the Real Estate Registry Office (Cartório de Registro de Imóveis), as for any buyer.
Do I need a CPF to buy property in Brazil?
Yes. The CPF is the individual taxpayer registration issued by Brazil’s Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal), and it is required for the purchase and for registering the property. Foreigners can request it at a Brazilian consulate or online through the Receita Federal.
Can I buy without being in Rio?
Yes. I show the property by video call, send the floor plans and the price list, and the contract can be signed with a digital certificate or through a power of attorney. I follow every step and refer a trusted lawyer to review the contract.
How is the payment made?
For this off-plan development, payment follows the developer’s price list. Funds from abroad come in through an international bank transfer registered by the bank. Bank financing in Brazil for non-residents is limited — most foreign buyers purchase with their own funds.
What are the costs of buying an apartment at Bronze Ipanema?
Besides the price, the buyer pays the ITBI (the municipal property transfer tax) and the registration of the deed at the Real Estate Registry Office (Cartório de Registro de Imóveis). I give you the amounts for your unit in the proposal.
Would you like the Bronze Ipanema price list?
Message me and I will send the sales price list, the rendered floor plans for every column, the specifications document and the payment schedule — and confirm availability and the expected completion date with the sales office.
