The Chácara Santo Antônio development, in the south of the capital, will have a gazebo open to public visits
SPECIAL FOR ESTADO – A company of WTower will place Brazil’s tallest corporate tower on the city map of Sao Paulo, measuring 219 meters tall over 39 floors. Located on a 317,400 m² plot in Chácara Santo Antônio, a privileged area of the South Zone of São Paulo, the Alto das Nações Multiúso complex will have a built area of 59,400 m².
Each floor is 4.7 meters, while the market standard varies between 2.8 meters and 3 meters. “The biggest technical challenge of this project was the construction schedule of this structure, which is almost double what we are used to seeing,” says WTorre CEO Marco Aurélio Siqueira. The project earned the company the Real Estate Structuring award in the Professionals category Real estate master.
The building promises to become a new tourist attraction in the city, just as it happened with the Allianz Park, the multipurpose arena also designed by the construction company. And not just because of his height. At the top, according to Siqueira, a lookout open to the public will be installed.
On the land, which belongs to the Carrefour Group, in addition to a French brand hypermarket, there will be a shopping centre, a mixed residential and commercial tower and another residential-only one, with 216 high-end units. The area will also include a 32 thousand m2 yard.
“The square will be a tool for integration with the surrounding environment and the entire project has been designed to offer convenience combined with quality of life for the residents and professionals who will work there,” says Siqueira. According to him, the Complex, which is expected to be fully completed in July 2025, is also a bet by the construction company that the demand for company slabs not only tends to grow, but the search for projects with technical differences and great visibility will be the point of departure. trend in the coming years.
“A large part of the project has already been sold, which reinforces our expectations,” says the executive.
Logistics warehouse
Another project of the company was also awarded as Master Real Estate: a logistics warehouse of 90,000 m², with a floor capacity of six tons per square meter, ceiling height of 12 meters, triple A standard and LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). In addition to all the technical aspects, the agility of WTorre, which delivered the WTLog RBR project in just six months, was the big difference that earned the construction company the award in the Agility and Quality category.
When the project was delivered in 2021, the world was facing the height of the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 and the e-commerce has reached record levels of operations in Brazil and around the world. Siqueira, recalls that the client was none other than one of the major players in the country’s online commerce market, the Free market.
“In addition to the boom in sales (with home delivery) due to the pandemic, we were on the eve sexta-feira Negra. In this scenario, haste was truly a determining element of differentiation”, explains the manager. These are two warehouses, one of 90 thousand m2 and the other of 30 thousand m2, with 226 operational docks in the cross docking model – a system that allows the simultaneous entry and exit of the shipment of goods.
Siqueira also adds two other points that he considers fundamental. One of these is sustainability, as the project was designed with a translucent side closure, which increases the use of sunlight and produces thermal insulation, improving the efficient use of energy.
The other prominent factor is the location of the WTLog RBR, which was built in Franco da Rocha, Greater São Paulo. “The founder of the company, Walter Torre, foresaw the growth of logistical complexities in already well-explored regions, such as Cajamar, and that Franco da Rocha would be a very interesting logistics corridor for both São Paulo and Campinas,” he says.
