The Presenter and Entrepreneur Carlos Massa, Ratinho, Acquired an Apartment at Horizon Palace, ARS Kammer, on the Seafront of Meia Praia in Itapema. With Units of Up to 227.85 m² and Complete Leisure, the Building Reinforces the City as the Second Most Valued Square Meter in Brazil in the Current National Ranking.
Ratinho has fully entered the conversation about high-end real estate in Santa Catarina by purchasing an apartment in Itapema. Choosing Horizon Palace, on the seafront of Meia Praia, places the presenter in the same movement as those seeking location, exclusivity, and liquidity in an increasingly competitive market.
By calling the development “one of the most incredible in Brazil,” Ratinho also helped illuminate a phenomenon that has been growing: the race for specific addresses, where the value lies not just in the apartment, but in the combination of street, view, access, and prestige.
The Purchase That Places Ratinho on the High-End Map in Itapema
Ratinho, the stage name of presenter and entrepreneur Carlos Massa, has now joined the list of high-end real estate buyers in Itapema, on the North Coast of Santa Catarina. The apartment was purchased at Horizon Palace, a development by ARS Kammer Incorporadora located on the seafront of Meia Praia, one of the most valued spots in the city.

What stands out is not just the act of buying, but the message behind the choice. When a highly visible figure enters this type of market, the property ceases to be merely “housing” and becomes a sign of positioning: an address that communicates standard, intention, and often a type of investment that relies on scarcity and reputation of the surroundings.
What Horizon Palace Offers and Why the “Incredible” Becomes an Argument
Horizon Palace brings together typical characteristics of the luxury segment, but with a package that attempts to address several demands at once. The units can reach 227.85 square meters of private area and include four suites, one of which has a hot tub, in addition to four parking spaces, with the important note that one of them has infrastructure for charging electric vehicles.
In the common area, the leisure list expands the concept of “condominium as a destination”: equipped gym, playroom, party room, gourmet space, and pub, as well as an indoor pool, fire square, game room, multi-sports court, playground, and furnished lobby.
This set functions as a technical and commercial differentiator, as it reduces reliance on external services and reinforces the idea of a complete experience within the building itself.
Meia Praia, Seafront and Rua 269: The Weight of Location in the Decision
The building is located on Rua 269, identified as one of the most valued areas of Itapema, just a few meters from the beach.
In the high-end market, this detail is rarely secondary: seafront is not just proximity to the sea, but a type of access and view that tends to maintain constant attractiveness, especially in cities with a limited supply of land in this range.
By buying in such a region, Ratinho enters a dynamic that does not depend solely on square footage, finishes, or apartment features.
The “rarity” of the location becomes part of the price and desire, as the scarcity is structural: there’s no way to “manufacture” new seafront addresses as easily as one can build a building further inside the city.
Itapema and the Square Meter: Why the Market Became So Competitive
Itapema stands out as one of the main investment hubs in the country and holds the position of the second most valued square meter in Brazil, second only to Balneário Camboriú.
This information helps explain why luxury developments are gaining traction: when the market is heated, location and construction standards begin to be viewed as assets capable of preserving value.
This scenario also alters buyer behavior. Instead of seeking just “a good apartment,” the demand for products that deliver a package grows: ample square footage, suites, parking spots, robust leisure options, and a consolidated address.
The result is a silent competition for few options, where the decision is usually quick and guided by the reputation of the development and its surroundings.
Prestige, Price, and Urban Routine
The presence of figures like Ratinho in such purchases tends to generate two simultaneous readings. The first is symbolic: it reinforces the perception that Itapema is on the national luxury circuit, attracting buyers who seek status and comfort.
The second is practical: it increases visibility in the local market, which can intensify competition for properties in already valued areas.
There is also an element of “modernization of the package,” exemplified by the infrastructure for charging electric vehicles in one of the parking spaces. This is not a decorative detail: in the high-end segment, such amenities convey technological updates and convenience.
When the building tries to anticipate habits, it sells itself as a long-term solution, rather than just a beautiful address.
Ratinho did not disclose the purchase price, but the objective data of the development and its location show why the movement draws attention: large unit, four suites, four parking spaces, complete leisure, and seafront at Meia Praia, in a city with some of the most valued square meters in the country.
In the end, the story is less about a famous buyer and more about how certain addresses have become a national competition.
Now I want to draw your personal perspective, without an automatic response: in your city, have you ever seen someone famous or well-known “change the game” of the real estate market after purchasing a property? And regarding Itapema, do you think this type of investment strengthens the city or accelerates a valuation that pushes away local residents and families?
