Six-hundred-square-meter plates on Leblon's beachfront.
About the building
Edifício Juan Les Pins in brief.
Juan Les Pins sits on the low-number, Ipanema end of Avenida Delfim Moreira — Leblon's beachfront avenue — with apartments around 580 to 600 m², up to five suites, and four to five parking spaces per unit. Plates this size on direct Leblon frontage are counted on one hand, which is why the building holds the avenue's headline prices.
The numbers are public record: a R$ 39 million sale in 2011 set a carioca residential record at the time, and a 600 m² unit currently asks R$ 65 million. At those levels the per-m² rate runs well past R$ 90K — the top of the entire Rio market.
Three elevators split social, beach and service circulation, and the security stack runs 24-hour staffing with biometric access and camera coverage. Buyers should expect zero portal inventory in most years; transactions are negotiated directly between families and their brokers.

Delivered circa 1974 by Sérgio Dourado Empreendimentos Imobiliários — the developer whose name marks several of the era's most ambitious Zona Sul buildings. The façade carries a sculpture by Alfredo Ceschiatti, the artist best known for the bronzes of Brasília's cathedral.

The building's units have been progressively rebuilt inside by each generation of owners — recent renovations published in Brazilian design press involved architect Miguel Pinto Guimarães and lighting designer Maneco Quinderé — while the building itself keeps its original 1970s envelope.

Its market history tracks Leblon's climb: the 2011 record sale at R$ 39M marked the moment Delfim Moreira pricing broke away from the rest of the city, and the avenue has not looked back since.

Long-term rent
What a unit leases for.
Leases are rare — most owners hold for use. When a unit does lease, it goes to a corporate principal or a family between purchases.
Where named individuals declined attribution, we describe the owner profile.
No address-level identification of current residents.
Industrial & banking families
The 600 m² plate size self-selects: ownership is a short list of Brazil's wealthiest families, held quietly and traded privately.
Record-setting buyers
The building's sales have repeatedly set Rio residential price records, which is the closest thing Leblon has to a public resident registry.
