Staff went out in the media and received by e-mail from Paula Marques. When it comes to housing bubble, remember once the crisis unleashed by the United States, right? Pos is, but look here, to Brasilia! One of the most expensive square meters of Brazil (if not the most expensive) is here. And the best: in a physically non-existent, only the plant!
Have you ever imagined paying $ 500,000 a kitchenette? What to buy in nearby Goiânia

The effect Northwest not to cause terror in the housing market in the Federal District. In three days, 50% of the stores of the first commercial venture of the new neighborhood were sold. Of the 30 units of a complex that also includes apartments of one and two bedroom apartments, 10 owner won in less than six hours after the start of sales, on Friday last. The price per square meter of commercial spots, whose area varies between 57m ² and 92m ², ranging from $ 15,400 to $ 18,000. That is, if just buy a unit, the investor can pay up to $ 1.6 million.

This same project reveals another reflection of the wave in Brasilia Northwest: until yesterday, had sold 107 of the 144 apartments available, ranging in size from 31m ² and 67m ². The price per square meter is equivalent to the properties of three and four bedroom sold in the neighborhood: U.S. $ 8300. The kitchenette top can cost therefore nearly U.S. $ 556 000. "In three days, we sold 50% of 74% of shops and apartments. We believe the project, we knew the market would accept the product well, but we are surprised with the outcome, "says Bruno Bontempo, director of Markimob, one of the developers of Neo Development.

The high demand for apartments and disputes between contractors by early trading points reinforce the fever created around the Northwest. Prices, unacceptable in the market until two years ago, do not seem to deter buyers. Sophisticated restaurants and bars, plus a large store of household goods, have already secured space in the new neighborhood. The expectation is that in December, no more units available in this endeavor. "If we continue at this pace, will exhaust everything before the end of this month," predicts Bontempo. The work should be completed in 2012.

The complex includes three blocks of two floors located in the future address CLNW 10:11, 200 meters from the Parque Burle Marx. The format is a Commercial Pilot Plan, but with more daring and bold design. Upstairs, the apartments will be one or two rooms and on the ground floor shops with mezzanine and warehouse. The owners may use the space in front of the property. There will be elevators, security system with cameras, clothing store employees, bike rack, basement with garage for about 250 cars, and parking lots around.

The luxury promised this and other projects launched in the Northwest stirs investors. Merchants are glazed with the possibility of being close to a public class A and B, which is able to buy apartments whose value per square meter reaches U.S. $ 10 000 or more going forward. "The shopkeeper who invest in that region will be surprised with the demand. He knows he will work with the elite, with people who do not care much about spending a little more quality product, "said Bontempo. It is estimated about 40 thousand residents in the new district.

Last sector
The housing sector will be the last to be built in the area of ​​Brasilia overturned. The urban planner Lucio Costa predicted the area in the document Brasilia Revisited, 1987. Since then, government officials and businessmen have invested in the future neighborhood, officially launched in January this year.

Neighborhood differential

For the entrepreneur Jorge Ferreira economists are "sheet heads"
conomistas heard by mail express concern about what they call "hysteria caused by Northwest." "Clearly there is a bubble and the trend is that it bursts. If we think in the medium or long term, we see that the demand for these prices will not sustain itself, "says Salvador Evilasio, professor at the University of Brasilia. "What is happening does not make sense. To be able to cover the initial cost, traders must have absurdly high rates of profit, "added the professor of the university also, Roberto Piscitelli.

Estimates of real estate entrepreneurs suggest that prices in the new district should double in the next five years. Who has already secured a unit in the commercial space sector housing celebrates and challenges the evaluation of economists.

"It 'heads spreadsheet. I know that the greatness and potential development of the Northwest. We buy because we know that the neighborhood will be a different place and we are prepared. Let's bombing, "said the businessman Jorge Ferreira, owner of 10 popular bars in town. He bought four units in the first shopping complex in the Northwest.

The Casa do Rio Grande do Sul, fine gift shop, will also be present in the Northwest. "There's a buzz, a great expectation of what will be one space. We will certainly be in a prime area, close to a different audience with high purchasing power, "says company director, Victor Parucker.

My friends, it's really depressing. Meanwhile, thousands of people living in poverty and marginalization in our city. The priority is pharaonic works, VLT, poor policing, rather than a decent health system, good schools, efficient transportation system and security for all.
