Why invest in property north of Natal right now?

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(south of Natal city) 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 in the market for beachfront property, oceanfront homes or raw 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 2104.Take a look at images of the runway already built ;http://diretodapista.blogspot.com/2009/01/aeroporto-de-so-gonalo-ter-primeira.html

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.

Investment opportunities in Natal,Rio Grande do Norte with New Airport and World Cup 2014

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 I 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 2014, 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 in time for 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.

Social housing in Brazil.Big investment gains in Natal R/N

Minha Casa Minha Vida(My house My life)Social housing development in Natal,Brazil

The Brazilian government aims to build 3 million homes in the next 4 years to meet the needs of low-income families.This is a massive nationwide project and will go a long way to reduce the housing shortfall in
Brazil.
The government is offering over 100billion reals in mortgages through its nationalized bank to provide house buyers with low-interest loans, and low monthly re-payments.Only those households with earnings between 0-5 times the minimum monthly salary(510rs) can apply for the programme and the waiting lists are long as millions of families strive to join the property owning classes for the first time.
The government cannot build houses fast enough to meet demand and developers have come in from the private sector to fill the gap.There are still over 100,000  families on the MCMV waiting list here in Natal.This creates a very favorable  climate for investors/developers as the returns on sale are guaranteed with a short period between house completion and sale.
So that is the overview.
Now for the numbers!

I was talking with my partner about the logistics of investing in a social housing project here in Natal.He is a project manager for a big Brazilian construction firm and is currently involved in the building of
1500 popular houses for an American client in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte.
Costs are between 26-31,000rs to build a 2 bed house of around 70m2
This unit can then be sold for  65-75,000rs through the nationalized bank or another lending institute.

The construction company charge a flat fee of 5000reals plus cost on each unit and can build 1-50 homes in 5 weeks providing the capital is available.The  firm can carry out a feasibility study on the land to see what can be built plus provide a master-plan of the project and an architectural design for one house.This project can then be submitted to the authorities for licensing and you can start selling the units off-plan/pre-construction.

We have sourced a variety of land parcels in prime locations for these types of housing projects.Go to the following link for information and photos on our latest special offer for a 6500m2 roadside landplot in Extremoz,Natal.The parcel is selling for R$130,000 with a possible subdivision into 25 units.
