The 2015-2016 economic recession – combined with several corruption investigations involving major construction companies – triggered a restructuring process in Brazil’s real estate sector, marked by increasing participation of small and medium-sized players. Moreover, several debt-laden companies opted to scale back operations by selling non-core assets, allowing new players to enter the market at bargain prices. Additionally, the revival of foreign investor interest since end-2017, supported by a general economic uptick and higher demand for both residential and commercial real estate, suggests that competition in the sector will continue to intensify.
