Invest in Natal
WHY INVEST IN NATAL
Its a plus to like the place you are investing in. This will not be a problem if your choice is Natal as it is a fantastic place to visit. It`s T-shirt and shorts weather 365days a year with the most sunshine in Brazil and the purest, cleanest air in South America. You have more than 400kms of coastline to explore with some of the finest beaches in the country. There is plenty to see and do for the more adventurous types as well as the sunworshippers. The local Brazilians are really friendly, easy to smile and make an effort to understand and help the unfamiliar visitor. Other attractions include a modern, dynamic urban centre with state of the art shopping malls, good selection of water sports, high quality range of restaurants and great nightlife all infused with Brazilian colour and hospitality.
But what sets Natal apart from other cities in the North-East of Brazil?
There are 3 big urban centers in the north-east of the country; Salvador, Recife and Fortaleza as well as the smaller city of J.Pessoa, in the neighbouring state of Paraiba. All of these places have their own special merits but we believe there are 4 attributes that make Natal a cut above the rest;
Climate; Undoubtably the best weather in Brazil with most sunshine, cleanest air and driest, least humid climate.
Size; With a population of just over 1million inhabitants, the city is of a manageable size, easy to navigate and hugs the coastline so you are never more than 10minutes away from a great beach.
Safety; Natal is certainly one of the safest cities in Brazil as we can personally testify to after living here for 6years. You can walk around in the daytime without any undue fear of being robbed anywhere in the city. At night you need to use a common sense approach as you would in your own country.
Geographical location; Natal is strategically located on the most easterly point of South America and thus is the closest Brazilian city to Europe, Africa and one of the closest to North-America making it a continental hub for future commerce and travel.
And the last but certainly not the least comparative advantage of Natal is the significant….
Investment potential!!!;
Along with the above attributes there are 2 major factors here that give Natal the edge and make it such a special place for property investment purposes;
NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Natal’s new international airport to be complete and operational by 2013, is located in Sao Goncalo de Amarante, 15kms north of Natal city and is set to become one of the biggest airport`s in South America. The airport will be for both cargo and commercial flights with capacity of 5million passengers per year (the current airport has 1.2million capacity which gives a good indication for growth potential in tourism and foreign investment)
The runway is now finished and the passenger terminal will be built by a private consortium 1 year ahead of the World Cup in 2014 to be hosted in nearby Natal. The project is part of the federal governments stratedgy to develop the North-East of Brazil and this airport will provide a hub for inter-continental trade and travel as well as having a major impact on the surrounding area and beaches north of the city. Take a look at the map to see the how close the northern coastline is in relation to this massive new airport!
What does this mean for Natal? More direct flights from Europe and North America, more overseas tourists coming to Natal, more investors to capitalize on this growth, improved infrastructure, higher property prices and greater investment returns!!
2104 FOOTBALL WORLD CUP
Natal was selected in May 2009 as one of the 12 cities in Brazil to co-host the football World Cup in 2014. It was picked due to it`s strategic location (closest to Europe and N.America) current hotel capacity of over 40,000rooms, great weather and obvious touristic appeal. It is the smallest Brazilian city to host the tournament and so will likely receive the greatest impact in terms of infrastuctural improvements and worldwide media exposure. New world cup investments include a 45,000seater stadium and business park to be built in the heart of the city, metro lines, improvements in the cities road network and a host of social projects to benefit the local populace. It will be the biggest event ever hosted in Natal and the city has a massive opportunity to project itself onto the world stage. This can only be good news for property investors who buy into the Natal property market now, to achieve ever increasing gains over the coming years.
WHY INVEST IN THE NORTH OF NATAL? QuieterBeaches, less infrastructure?
ANSWER; New airport. Great access. Lots of beachfront land for sale. Lower prices. Higher investment returns.
The beach resorts south of Natal such as Ponta Negra and Pipa have already experienced rapid development over the past 10years and are now fully fledged international tourist destinations with package holiday makers, hotel chains and luxury developments. Prices have risen accordingly and property per m2 has become a lot more expensive as the local market has reached saturation level
If you are looking for a lively modern tourist infrastructure with great nightlife in which to buy an off-plan villa, apartment we have plenty of attractive offers/listings, near the beach in the most popular resorts of Pipa and Ponta Negra.
If however you are in the market for beachfront property, oceanfront homes or beach land at reasonable prices in the south of Natal you may have already missed out I`m afraid.
LOOK TO THE NORTH FOR INVESTMENT GROWTH
We at brazbeachhouse have lived, worked and invested in the north of Natal for the past 6 years. The north coastline of Rio Grande do Norte is dotted with little fishing villages and lots of wide open nature as well as long stretches of pristine tropical beachfront.
The possibility of buying and owning beachfront property at an affordable price is a still alive and kicking on this north coast of Natal and this is where your investment choice will pay dividends in 3-5years time!
Landprices here per m2 are currently 4-5times cheaper than in the more built up southern coastline with many more oceanfront, oceanview landparcels and vacation homes available for sale.
The northern beaches of Natal have better road access into Natal city, equally beautiful beaches and authentic brazilian beach communities with little commercialization.
The key investment potential factor here is proximity to the new international airport.
The airport is being built on the north side of Natal, closest to the northern beaches and the impact is likely to be immediate and substantial on opening in 2103(3 years from now)
We understand that future development will be selective and concentrated in certain beach towns. The main beaches to look out for due to their beauty, natural characteristics, current attractions, approved resorts and available beach space are Genipabu, Muriu, Caraubas, Maracajau and Sao Miguel do Gostoso.We have been actively searching for beach properties on these beaches for the past few years and have practically cornered the market for landparcels, plots and beachhomes to buy in these resorts.
