Patrimar Engenharia has been named one of the TOP 100 Real Estate Developers of the World in 2025, a distinction that places the company firmly among global leaders in real estate and construction. This recognition by Luxury Lifestyle Awards highlights the company’s decades-long influence in shaping some of the most admired developments across Brazil. From large-scale infrastructure projects to high-end residential masterpieces.

A Story Rooted in Excellence and Growth

Founded in 1963, the company began as a force in road, rail, and reinforced concrete structure construction. Early on, its strategic investments in professionals and equipment distinguished it from competitors. By the 1970s, Patrimar expanded into new sectors, taking on projects in infrastructure, sanitation, urban development, building construction, and industrial initiatives across both public and private domains.

This diversification set the stage for its later ventures into real estate. In 1980, M. Martins Empreendimentos Imobiliários Ltda. emerged as a new entity dedicated to residential and commercial construction. Rebranded as Patrimar in 1995, the company quickly became synonymous with forward-thinking design and enduring quality.

Expanding Horizons: Novolar

In 2000, Patrimar broadened its impact by launching Novolar, a construction company tailored to the needs of Brazil’s growing middle class. Novolar’s mission reflected the same guiding principle: providing high-quality homes while ensuring accessibility. Over the years, more than 40,000 units have been delivered in Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo.

Novolar developments stand as more than buildings; they represent the realization of dreams for thousands of families across Brazil. Through smart urban planning, thoughtful designs, and reliable delivery, Novolar has become a respected force within the real estate landscape.

High-End Developments Across Brazil

While Novolar meets the aspirations of the middle class, Patrimar has also earned distinction in the luxury property segment. With landmark projects in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais, the company’s portfolio showcases architectural innovation, sustainable practices, and lifestyle-enhancing amenities.

Patrimar is celebrated not only for delivering modern residences but also for creating spaces that align with how people want to live today close to nature, connected to urban infrastructure, designed with comfort and sophistication in mind, and environmental responsibility in mind.

Oceana Golf: Redefining Luxury in Rio de Janeiro

One of the most talked-about projects under the Patrimar umbrella is Oceana Golf, a residential development in Barra da Tijuca that raises the standard for high-end living in Brazil. The project reflects a collaboration with three of the country’s most respected talents, Alexandre Feu, Benedito Abbud, and Debora Aguiar, who brought architecture, landscaping, and interiors together into a cohesive vision.

Located in one of the most appreciated real estate areas in Rio de Janeiro in recent years, Oceana Golf stands on land embraced by the natural beauty of the Marapendi Reserve and overlooks one of Latin America’s finest golf courses. Residents enjoy direct ferry access to the beach, providing both tranquility and convenience. At the same time, Avenida das Américas, a major urban artery, ensures connectivity to retail, services, and the vibrant life of Rio de Janeiro.

Importantly, Oceana Golf has received EDGE certification at the design stage. EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is a global green building standard developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC). It recognizes buildings that achieve significant reductions in energy and water consumption, as well as embodied energy in materials. This certification reinforces Patrimar’s commitment to sustainability and responsible development, ensuring that luxury and environmental awareness go hand in hand. is a global green building standard developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

Living as an Art Form

The residences at Oceana Golf have been designed to capture views of both the ocean and the golf course, offering four ensuite bedrooms, expansive living spaces, and finishes that emphasize exclusivity. The development also features extensive leisure infrastructure, providing entertainment and relaxation for all ages.

Residents enjoy a wide range of amenities, including party rooms, social lounges, multiple pools, fitness spaces, kids’ and teen areas, and sports courts. Outdoors, features like a solarium, walking track, and small beach invite connection with nature, while wellness spaces, including a meditation area, spa, saunas, and massage rooms, ensure complete renewal.

These thoughtfully designed facilities bring together recreation, fitness, and well-being, creating a community where every day feels extraordinary.

One of the standout features is an extraordinary reflecting pool, roughly 120 meters in length, that integrates seamlessly into landscaped social areas. Designed by Benedito Abbud, this element has been described as something never seen in Rio de Janeiro. With such details, Oceana Golf elevates the residential experience.
