The history of Cidade Ocian: The first neighborhood of Praia Grande A city always has its history to be highlighted. Praia Grande, at 53 years old, at the height of its youth, would be no different. The stories and tales of the city are told by great authorities and events during these golden years, the basis for the city's development. The Cidade Ocian neighborhood, in this context, stands out for its history and pioneering spirit, where the largest residential project in Brazil at the time was built, second only to the project in Brasília, by Oscar Niemeyer and our eternal President Juscelino Kubitschek. This project crossed the entire avenue, towards the beach, which today is called Dom Pedro II. The name Ocian is an abbreviation for Organização Construtora e Incorporadora Andraus, which in 1955 built a set of 22 buildings with 1,350 apartments, thus creating the neighborhood. Currently, the city's public administration has revitalized the entire center, further enhancing the neighborhood that has always stood out in history. To give an example, Cidade Ocian was the birthplace of one of the city's most voted councilmen, due to his popular prestige: the late Vital Muniz. In addition, there are several leisure options, but the highlight is the Ocian Praia Clube, a destination for many traditional dances among families from Cidade Ocian and Praia Grande. And today, families can still enjoy the club as well, as long as they are members. It is worth mentioning our development, the Heloísa Lima residential complex, for those who want to discover and be enchanted by a neighborhood that has a lot of history, many personalities who actively worked for the development of the city, and also, by choosing it, gain the commercial infrastructure that the location provides. Come and discover and be enchanted by Cidade Ocian. We hope you enjoy our tour and we wish you all a great time!!!
