Bal Harbour Real Estate: Why Brazilian Investors Are Choosing This Miami Luxury Market
August 13, 2025
In a powerful demonstration of cross-border collaboration and luxury market momentum, the Robb Report Bal Harbour–Miami Summit held at Casa LIDE in São Paulo spotlighted Bal Harbour as one of the most coveted destinations for high-net-worth Brazilian buyers. The event, hosted by LIDE and Robb Report, gathered influential figures across tourism, real estate, and public administration to chart the future of South Florida’s luxury corridor.
Representing BRG International at the event was Matias Alem, founder and CEO of the Miami-based boutique brokerage with over $1 billion in sales. A recognized authority in luxury real estate, Matias brought valuable insights on why Bal Harbour and Miami remain top-tier choices for Brazilian investors, offering a sophisticated blend of lifestyle, security, and long-term value appreciation.
“There’s no place like Bal Harbour. It combines pristine beaches, world-renowned shopping, and high-end real estate that resonates deeply with the Brazilian buyer,” Matias shared during the summit.
Why Brazilians Are Betting on Bal Harbour
With over 400,000 Brazilians visiting Miami annually, the region has become more than a tourist destination—it’s a second home for many, especially in enclaves like Bal Harbour. From global events like Art Basel and Formula 1 to its unique blend of Latin culture, Miami offers both familiarity and exclusivity.
According to Rolando Aedo, COO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Bal Harbour is now seen as the epicenter of luxury within Greater Miami, a status reinforced by its rapid post-pandemic population growth and expanding infrastructure.
The draw isn’t just lifestyle—it’s investment. Developments like Rivage Bal Harbour, with marble façades, ocean-view residences, and butler services, are setting new standards for waterfront luxury. These types of properties perfectly align with BRG International’s curated approach to real estate: guiding clients from selection to interior design, and even property management.
