Grupo Terra Nova

What Grupo Terra Nova does

Grupo Terra Nova (legal name: Terra Nova – Empreendimentos e Participações Limitada) is a privately-held Brazilian diversified holding company headquartered in Salvador, Bahia. The group is structured as a holding entity overseeing 13 wholly-owned subsidiaries organized around four strategic councils: Real Estate Development, Urbanism and Civil Construction, Agribusiness, and Renewable Energy (solar and biomass). Operations are concentrated in the Northeast (Bahia state, with extensive holdings along the São Francisco River) and Southeast (São Paulo and Minas Gerais) regions of Brazil.

The portfolio spans four primary business lines. In land banking, the group holds over 377,000 hectares across properties such as Brejo Taboa (50,000ha), Casa Nova Participações (106,000ha), and Project Vivarium Business (100,000ha) in North Bahia. Agribusiness operations include Vivarium Agrobusiness, which produces fruits (grapes, mangoes, guava, melon, watermelon, papaya), sugarcane, and livestock along the São Francisco River across 16 farms, plus Vivarium Agronegócio do Oeste's 21,000 hectares of soybean and second-crop corn in the Matopiba region. In renewable energy, the Casa Nova Usina de Energia project targets 1.3GW of solar photovoltaic and wind generation (valued at R$130 million upon regulatory clearance), with Vivarium Global structured as the long-term land lessor (R$160 million over 20 years). Real estate development includes the Complexo de Sorocaba logistics project (200,000m², with interest from Assaí, Atacadão, Magazine Luiza, Votorantim, and other major Brazilian retailers), Vivarium Logística (1,733,850m² of logistics lots in Candeias-BA), Pátio Cidade das Pedras shopping center, and the Joia Rara and Joia Rara Parque das Dunas residential condominiums.

The business model is asset-heavy and project-driven: revenue is generated through one-time land and property sales, agricultural commodity production, and contracted energy and logistics leases. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with enterprise and investor engagement handled through the corporate website ([email protected], +55 71 3506-7166) and direct negotiations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company positions itself around sustainable development and integrated multi-sector execution but discloses no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capabilities, and no external institutional investors or parent company.
