ARC Ipanema: 2-bedroom apartments and a duplex penthouse between the beach and the Lagoa, with a preserved 1930s house at the entrance
There are only 32 apartments, in a new SIG building on Rua Alberto de Campos, one block from Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. The 1930s house that stands on the lot is restored and becomes the reception and leisure area of the building. In the November 2026 price list, six units remain: four 2-bedroom apartments of 94.29 m², a 115.90 m² garden unit and a 138.93 m² duplex penthouse.
A new building you enter through a 1930 house
The lot at Alberto de Campos, 84 has a 1930s house protected by the IRPH, the Instituto Rio Patrimônio da Humanidade (Rio’s heritage institute). Instead of hiding the house, the project made it the front door: it is restored, houses the lobby and the leisure areas, and the apartment building rises behind it. The arches on the house’s façade gave the development its name.
The façade, the colors and the window frames of the house are protected by the IRPH and cannot be altered. It houses the lobby, a gourmet space and, upstairs, the building’s leisure areas.
Four per floor, all with 2 bedrooms, including two garden units on the first floor and four duplex penthouses on the eighth.
The street runs between Rua Vinícius de Moraes and Rua Farme de Amoedo, one block from Avenida Epitácio Pessoa. Ipanema Beach is a few blocks away, on the other side of the neighborhood.
SIG is a Rio de Janeiro developer and builder with more than 45 years in the market, and it is behind ARC from design to construction.
32 apartments on a 935 m² lot in Ipanema
ARC Ipanema occupies a 935 m² lot at Rua Alberto de Campos, 84. The building has a basement, a ground floor, a first floor with apartments and the two garden units, six apartment floors (2nd to 7th) and the 8th floor with the duplex penthouses. There are 32 units, all with 2 bedrooms, four per floor, served by two elevators, with 29 parking spaces.
The 1930s house sits at the front of the lot. Visitors cross a garden with a granite slab path and beds of flowers and jasmine to reach the lobby set inside the house. Its ground floor holds the reception and the gourmet space; its first floor, a meeting and coworking room, a gym, a kids’ playroom, a sauna and a terrace with hot tub.
The architectural concept and the façade are by PBA, the office of Paulo Baruki, and the permit design is by DC Arquitetura, by Rogerio Goldfeld Cardeman and Fernando Veiga Bauler. The landscaping is by Heloísa Guinle Dantas, the common-area interiors by SER Arquitetura and the apartment interiors by Melina Romano. The new building has straight lines and sober tones, leaving the house as the protagonist.
In the apartments, SIG delivers electronic locks, infrastructure for split air conditioning, infrastructure for a gas tankless water heater and individual water metering. The building has an emergency generator, an electric car charging point, 24-hour access control, CCTV, a perimeter alarm, motion sensors and a system that monitors elevators, pumps, lighting and water tanks.

You can do almost everything on foot — the beach, the Lagoa, the neighborhood’s markets and restaurants — and the metro serves the area through the Nossa Senhora da Paz and General Osório stations.

Until the certificate of occupancy, expected for September 2027, you pay 30% of the price: down payment, nine monthly payments and two single payments. In October 2027 comes the 69.5% financing portion, and in December 2029 there is a final 0.5% payment. The example below is the most affordable 2-bedroom unit in the price list.

Adding the down payment, monthly and single payments, that is R$ 894.918 — 30% of the price — paid until delivery. The 69.5% (R$ 2.073.236) goes to financing, within the 80% of the property value that banks finance; the minimum down payment is 20%. Until the certificate of occupancy, installments are adjusted by the INCC-DI index; after that, by the IPCA index.
Percentages, dates and amounts according to SIG’s official November 2026 price list. Amounts in reais, rounded; installments adjusted monthly by the INCC-DI index until the certificate of occupancy is recorded and by the IPCA index from then on. Eligibility for financing depends on the bank’s credit analysis.
How much you pay until delivery, and how much goes to the bank
The November price list uses the same plan for all six units: 30% until the certificate of occupancy, expected for September 2027, split into a down payment, nine monthly and two single payments. The 69.5% balance goes to financing in October 2027; banks finance up to 80% of the property value, with a minimum down payment of 20%. A final 0.5% is due in December 2029.
