vila brandão is a 350 families community, existing since the 1940s. living in a – more or less - quiet way. Open to guests, a place of hospitality.
But aways involved in some kind of a fight...
• fishermen’s fight for free access to the sea – on the other side: the yachtclub
• residents fight for a childrens park – yachtclub, casa amarela are not enthusiastic...
• casa wildenberg – as torres – a real estate discussion bewteen investors, authorities, neighbours, priests and politicians, including the residents of vila brandão.
and now, all big fishes are in::
we’re talking about 11.000 m2 in salvador’s top location – a real estate fight between the misterious construction company Marka and the Yachtclub about a piece of land of 360 m2 which became 2.200m2 after getting the construction licence through the authorities... 40 years of „legal“occupation against a piece of paper with no legal qualification… the yachtclub wins in court … an other company coming into the play – ImoCom, portuguese multinational already involved in the Hotel-Hilton mega project in comercio, claiming 11.000 m2 as their own, including the territory of vila brandão, casa wildenberg and the yachtclub... Just a 3-4 years ago, Imocom bought a resident’s house… and wanted to buy more!
the city council decides to expropriate everybody – yachtclub and vila brandão... to create public space...
Strange, as most of the inhabitants already are paying IPTU for their houses - the local tax for landownership. Strange, as electricity, water, telefone are connected regularily to the inhabitants.
