Our Team
In the U.S., the affordable rental housing market has decades of consolidated expertise.
In Brazil, this market is just beginning — and the demand is urgent.
We built Guará to close that gap.
Our team was formed at MIT, trained in institutional-grade real estate on both sides of the equation, and driven by a single conviction:
"Brazil's housing deficit is not just a market opportunity — it's a social imperative."

Differentials
Proprietary AI agents reduce site underwriting. Our digital twin integrates municipal data, satellite imagery, and financial feasibility into a single model — giving investors real-time visibility into every assumption before ground breaks. Less guesswork. Lower risk.
We keep what works in favelas — community, density, identity — and deliver it with safety, durability, and professional management. Not soulless units. Rental communities.
Brazil's affordable rental PPP program represents a new layer of the market — one we've been preparing for. We're building the structure to develop and operate within it as it takes shape.
Portfolio
Social rental housing in the heart of historic Recife. Four developments under a 25-year government concession — land provided, debt subsidized. Investors fund only the gap. Proposals due May 2026.
Brazil's first affordable rental PPP program. Working-class families in Campo Grande's 3,000+ person waitlist — land and subsidized debt from the city, institutional capital funds the rest.
