São Paulo, September 4, 2007 - Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), one of Brazil’s leading diversified national homebuilders, today announced that it has joined the Bovespa Index (Ibovespa), the main indicator of the Brazilian stock market’s average performance and the IBrX-50, an index measuring the total return on a theoretical portfolio composed of 50 stocks selected among BOVESPA’s most actively traded securities.

Membership for the Ibovespa and IBrX-50 indexes is determined by an objective method based on trading volume and financial value. The Bovespa Index is the main indicator of the Brazilian stock market’s average performance. The stocks included in the index represent more than 80% of the number of trades and the financial value registered on the BOVESPA’s cash market (round lot) as well as approximately 70% of the sum of all BOVESPA’s listed companies’ capitalization. Gafisa’s weighting in the Ibovespa index will be 0,66%, occupying the 48th position in the portfolio. The Ibovespa index was rebalanced on September 3, 2007 and is rebalanced each four month period.

IBrX-50 is an index which measures the total return on a theoretical portfolio composed of 50 stocks selected among BOVESPA’s most actively traded securities in terms of liquidity, weighted according to the outstanding shares’ market value. The Company’s weight in the IBX-50 index will be of 0,38%, occupying the 46th position in the portfolio. The IBrX-50 index was rebalanced on September 3, 2007 and is rebalanced each four month period.

The Ibovespa and IbrX-50 indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies.
