Santa Catarina
Brazil's safest state. Its fastest-growing population. Its least discovered premium market.
Safety & Liveability
Brazil's safest state, with a European civic character.
Ranked Brazil's safest state. Predominantly German, Italian, and Portuguese-descendant population. Infrastructure and governance distinct from any other Brazilian coastal market.
A Stable, Growing Economy
Tourism, technology, and agriculture. More than one boom industry.
1.4 million new residents between 2010 and 2022, Brazil's fastest-growing state, without depending on a single industry to sustain it.
Prices Stay Protected
Florianópolis is an island. It cannot simply keep building.
Height restrictions in premium zones and no land reserve mean supply is genuinely limited — which is part of why prices here tend to hold and grow.
The Market
Santa Catarina sits in Brazil's south: geographically and culturally distinct from the country most people picture when they think of Brazil.
The state is home to Florianópolis, Balneário Camboriú, and the emerging corridor of Itapema and Porto Belo. Each has its own character, collectively they form one of the most compelling coastal regions in the Southern Hemisphere.
A Real Economy, Not Just a Beach
Florianópolis is called the Silicon Island and Start Up capital of Latin America
Florianópolis is Brazil's leading tech hub, home to roughly 700 startups and a sector that makes up about a quarter of the local economy, with 100,000 new tech jobs projected statewide by 2027.
Tourism Keeps Climbing
Increasing global visibility, digital nomad hub and more international flight connections
Santa Catarina welcomed 5.5 million visitors in 2025. International arrivals alone jumped 66% year-on-year, and Florianópolis now ranks among the world's most-booked destinations for 2026.
SUSTAINABLE infrastructure projects
Smart investments into road, air and sea projects, including a new Marina and revitalization of historic areas
A R$350M urban park and marina is under construction on Florianópolis's central waterfront, with 440,000m² of public leisure space. Historic city centers are being revitalized, roads upgraded with vegetation and bicicle lanes, among others.
Lasting NATURAL BEAUTY
A perfect mix of urban accessibility and natural preservation, attractive for residends and tourists alike
Santa Catarina holds a national record 31 Blue Flag-certified beaches in 2026, the international standard for water quality. And it shows up directly in the prices nearby.
Why now
Santa Catarina has the right momentum, with sustainable investments into infrastructure, a regional & international influx of wealth & highly skilled workforce and an ever increasing tourism
Florianópolis ranked 4th globally on Summer 2025 most searched destinations — ahead of Tokyo and Rome.

What others are saying
Your Ways to invest
From pre-construction to ready-to-move properties.
Standard Off-Plan
Buy early at a fixed price. Sell or hold at delivery.
Pay 30–50% during construction. The price at purchase is lower than at handover — the difference is your return, with a clear exit at delivery or hold for rental income.
At-Cost Participation
Own the build at actual construction cost.
You invest at the cost of construction rather than a developer's retail price — the margin the developer would have taken goes to you instead. Average 60–100% appreciation at delivery in active projects.
Income from Delivery
Passive rental income from the day you get the keys.
At-cost participation in a purpose-built rental building, delivered fully furnished and managed. Passive income from the first guest, with zero operational involvement required.
Ready Property
Buy a finished property. Use it, rent it, or both.
Secondary market properties available now for personal use, holiday home, or short-term rental operation. Immediate possession, no construction wait, income starts from day one if you rent it out.
Your capital is protected
Legal protections are built into Brazilian law.
Your deposits are legally separated from developer liabilities, and IC introduces only developers with verified escrow and a track record of fully delivered projects. The entire process — from signing to residency — can be completed without travelling to Brazil.
Golden Visa
Brazilian residency from contract date. Citizenship after 4 years.
Eligible from approx. USD 200K, covering the investor, spouse, and dependent children with no minimum stay requirement. Dual citizenship permitted — no renunciation of existing nationality required.
