The Industrial and Port Complex of Pecém (CIPP) was conceived at the apex of Ceará’s integration with the globalized market, located between Caucaia and São Gonçalo do Amarante (SGA). Its implementation attracted the real estate market on its surroundings, which bet on a future demand for housing that would result from the jobs creation, promised by the State Government. Therefore, this dissertation aims to understand how the new real estate production is developing in SGA and the northwest portion of Caucaia, considering the worrying speed that it has grown recently. It was necessary to understand the multi and interscalar context in which the complex inserts itself; identify the different actors involved and their roles; gather the normatives to understand how them regulate the real estate production; analyze the occupancy patterns of municipalities from the new real estate production, composed mainly of large urban projects with at least 1ha; discuss the impact of these new dynamics on the pre-existing territorial structure. For this, a literature review was initially carried out around the discussion of the commodification of land, especially in the neoliberal capitalist era. Subsequently, online journal articles and official communiqués were gathered to understand the current political, social and economic context constructed since the 1960s. In addition, large residential real estate developments were mapped and analyzed within 1995 to August 2018, through field visits, collection of advertising material and interviews with real estate agents. It becomes evident that there has been an aggravation of the process of commodification of land around CIPP, putting in second place its social function. This practice is reinforced by the fragility of local government that favor freer real state market’s action. Meanwhile, the studied area, after its appropriation by the market, shows itself as a sprawling and segregated space, reinforcing a exclusion process of the traditional population that had been happening yet for a long time.
