Iconyc by Yoo: Philippe Starck’s design condominium in Botafogo, complete, with 2- and 3-bedroom apartments and garden units with a pool
Three towers and two low-rise blocks on an 8,675 m² plot between Mena Barreto and São João Batista, with 2,800 m² of amenities designed by Yoo Studio. 10 units remain on the November price list: 2 and 3-bedroom apartments and garden units with a private pool.
The design the sales brochure promised is already built
The lobby with a 5.90 m ceiling height, the lap pool and the party room on this page are not renderings: they are professional photos taken at the completed condominium in 2026. What RJZ Cyrela is selling now is the remaining inventory — new apartments, never lived in.
You can see the floor, the view and the light of each apartment before deciding. Some units have views of Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain.
The November price list has only two stages: a 25% deposit and 75% in February 2027. There is no construction payment schedule adjusted by the INCC (construction cost index) and no delivery date to wait for.
Pool with a 25 m lap lane, fitness center, pub, coworking and kids’ playroom delivered and decorated by Yoo Studio, with the design furniture you see in the photos.
It is not a resale: the apartment comes from the developer, new, with the builder’s construction warranty.
An entire block between three streets in Botafogo
Iconyc by Yoo is a partnership between RJZ Cyrela, Leblon Realty and Yoo Studio, the London design firm founded by Philippe Starck and John Hitchcox, present in 46 countries. The plot, of 8,675.28 m², has frontage on Rua Mena Barreto, Rua São João Batista and Rua Henrique de Novais — and the back faces the Furnas building.
There are three eleven-story towers — Privilege, Prestige and Premium — with garden units on the first floor, nine standard floors and one floor of single-level and duplex penthouses. Next to them, the low-rise Pride and Prime blocks, with three floors, complete the complex of 293 units. Each tower has four elevators.
The architecture is by the Sérgio Gattáss firm, and Yoo Studio designed the landscaping and the decoration of the common areas, with pieces such as the Tooth bench and the Light Rock lamp by Philippe Starck. The amenities occupy a common-use floor raised 3.50 m above the sidewalk, and the apartments begin 3.50 m above it.
In the apartments, the technical specifications include rectified porcelain tiles in living rooms, bedrooms and balconies, level flooring between balcony and living room, a balcony prepared for a countertop and electric barbecue grill, infrastructure for split air conditioning and hot water in the kitchen and bathrooms. The garden units and penthouses come with a pool kit with deck and shower.

Ready property: 25% deposit and 75% in February 2027
As construction is complete, the November price list has no construction payment schedule and no INCC adjustment during construction: there are two stages. The example below uses the most affordable unit on the price list, the 2-bedroom unit 807 in the Prestige building, with 75.71 m².
| Stage | When | % of the price | For unit 807 (R$ 1.638.599) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit | November 2026 | 25% | R$ 409.650 |
| Balance — own funds or bank financing | February 2027 | 75% | R$ 1.228.949 |
| Total | 100% | R$ 1.638.599 |
Until the keys, what you pay out of pocket is the 25% deposit (R$ 409.650 for unit 807); the remaining 75% (R$ 1.228.949) is paid in February 2027. Per the price list, the financing bank is Itaú; banks finance up to 80% of the property value; the minimum down payment is 20% — for unit 807, the 75% balance fits within that limit. The price list projects an effective rate of TR (Brazil’s reference rate) + 10.5% a year, under the SAC system, over up to 360 months. ITBI and registry office costs are paid by the buyer. Terms subject to credit approval and to the bank’s rules on the date of signing.
How much you pay until delivery, and how much goes to the bank
Iconyc is ready to move in, so the November price list has only two stages: a 25% down payment in November 2026 and the 75% balance in February 2027, through bank financing or your own funds. Below, the most affordable 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units.
| Stage | When | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Down payment (25%) | 11/2026 | R$ 409.650 |
| Until financing (25%) | R$ 409.650 | |
| Balance in February 2027 (75%) | R$ 1.228.949 | |

| Until financing (25%) | R$ 478.695 | |
| Balance in February 2027 (75%) | R$ 1.436.086 | |
Simulation based on the November 2026 price list (issued on November 1, 2026), subject to the developer's approval and unit availability. Installments are adjusted as set out in the contract. The mortgage payment is illustrative: SAC table at the reference rate of 12.89% a year, without mandatory insurance or bank fees; the actual rate depends on the bank and on each buyer. Brazilian bank financing for non-residents is limited.

The condominium occupies an 8,675.28 m² plot at Rua Mena Barreto, 150, with 293 units in three 11-story towers (Privilege, Prestige and Premium) and two 3-story blocks (Pride and Prime), and about 2,800 m² of amenities. The technical specifications estimate a condominium fee of R$ 11 per square meter in standard units and penthouses and R$ 10 per square meter in garden units, plus utility bills. As the development is already complete, I confirm the current amount before the offer.
What are the reviews of Iconyc by Yoo?
I do not publish ratings or third-party reviews. What this page documents: the developers are RJZ Cyrela and Leblon Realty, construction is by RJZ Cyrela, and construction was completed in 2026 (the sales price list records April 2026) — the photos on this page were taken at the completed development, and you can visit the unit itself and the amenities before making an offer. I send the development’s documentation to anyone who asks.
How do I visit Iconyc and get the price list?
Iconyc is complete, so the visit is to the unit itself and the amenities, which are already in operation. Schedule with me via WhatsApp +55 21 96684-4828: I send you the November 2026 price list unit by unit, with building, floor, area and price, and I consider offers for any of the 10 units, presenting them to the seller.
Can foreigners buy an apartment at Iconyc by Yoo in Brazil?
Yes. Foreigners can buy urban property in Brazil, even without living in the country. You need a CPF (Brazilian individual taxpayer number), which can be requested at a Brazilian consulate. The purchase is recorded at the Real Estate Registry Office (Cartório de Registro de Imóveis), as for any other buyer.
Can I buy at Iconyc by Yoo without being in Rio?
Yes. I give you a video tour and send you the floor plans and the price list, and signing can be done with a digital certificate or through a power of attorney. I follow every step and can refer you to a trusted lawyer to review the contract.

Funds from abroad come in through an international bank transfer registered by the bank. Bank financing in Brazil is limited for non-residents — most foreign buyers purchase with their own funds.
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 every buyer needs one. Foreigners can request it at a Brazilian consulate or online through the Receita Federal.
What are the costs of buying an apartment at Iconyc by Yoo in Rio?
Besides the price of the unit, the buyer pays ITBI (the municipal property transfer tax) and the registration at the Real Estate Registry Office (cartório). I state these amounts in the proposal for the chosen unit.
Would you like to visit the completed Iconyc?
Tell me the layout and I will come back with the available units, the price of each one per the November price list and a time to see the apartment and the amenities.
