OBA Urca: the last three studios in the restored art deco house, on a tree-lined street in Urca
OBA has 32 apartments in two blocks on Rua Odílio Bacelar: a preserved art deco house converted into 12 units, and a contemporary building with 20. Twenty-nine have already been sold. The November 2026 price list has three studios left in the house — two with a balcony, of 75.07 and 76.42 m², and a 71.47 m² garden studio — ready to move in, with the certificate of occupancy issued in March 2026.
Living inside an art deco house, with the amenities of a condominium
The three studios for sale are in Block 1, the art deco house that already stood on the site and was preserved and restored. On the outside, the house remains protected — the façade, the colors and the window frames do not change. Inside, it became 12 units with new finishes and access to the condominium amenities, located in the contemporary building next door.
The complex is protected by Decree 7451/88. The façade of the house was kept and restored, and the original stained glass inspired the project’s tiles.
Between 71 and 76 m² of private area, with a balcony or an open terrace — well above the size of a typical studio.
The certificate of occupancy was issued in March 2026 and OBA has already been delivered. Under the SIG promotion, it is 30% on signing and 70% financed by the bank, or payment in cash at a discount.

Art deco and contemporary on the same site
OBA Urca is SIG’s development at Rua Odílio Bacelar, 16, a tree-lined street of period houses in Urca, between Guanabara Bay and Sugarloaf Mountain. It has 32 apartments in two blocks: Block 1 is the preserved art deco house, converted into 12 units — studios, garden studios, studios with a balcony, studios with a bedroom and a 2-bedroom garden house —, and Block 2 is a contemporary building with 20 apartments of 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms and duplex penthouses, with two apartments per landing.
The architecture is by Cité Arquitetura, by Celso Rayol and Fernando Costa. The idea was to revitalize the mansion and build next to it a building in dialogue with it: the bronze color of the house’s doors was applied to the new railings, designed from doors that existed on the lot, and the stained glass of the stairwell atrium became exclusive tiles, created by designer Luiz Eduardo Rayol for the façade and the interiors.
The landscaping is by Embyá, with an ecosystem approach: a front garden, a contemplative garden and private gardens in the garden units, designed as an extension of the apartments. In Block 1, the units use electric appliances — there is no gas piping in the apartments of the house, except for unit 105.
The condominium is delivered with air-conditioning infrastructure, an emergency generator, electronic locks, a perimeter alarm, CCTV, motion sensors, automated gates, Wi-Fi in the common areas, an electric vehicle charging point in the parking area and a bike storage room with an e-bike charging point.
Three studios on the November price list
SIG’s November 2026 price list has three units, all in Block 1, the art deco house: two studios with a balcony and one garden studio. The availability chart confirms the same three as available; the other 29 units at OBA are sold. None of the three studios has a parking space.
