On Thursday (13th), Porte Engenharia e Urbanismo hosted an investor-focused event to present its latest project in the Eixo Platina: Urman São Paulo, located in the eastern zone of the São Paulo capital. 

With executives, business leaders, and professional investors in attendance, the event highlighted the new mixed-use complex the company is launching in the region. The development will feature two office-focused towers: a corporate tower with larger floor plates and another for smaller office spaces. The complex will also include a Tru by Hilton hotel tower, residential towers, a cinema, a theater, a convention center, a mall, and a dedicated gastronomy tower. 

According to Market Analytics data from SiiLA, the Tatuapé region, where Urman is located, currently has a total office stock of 62,000 m². In comparison, the city of São Paulo has 9 million m² of Class A+, A, and B office space. This means that less than 1% of the city's offices are in the eastern zone, a region home to 4.4 million people. 

The daily commute of workers to the city's central and southern zones is one of the key arguments supporting investment in Eixo Platina, as explained by Igor Melro, commercial director at Porte, in an interview with REsource. 

"I believe the eastern zone is vast and lacks many essential developments. It was crucial for us to analyze this demand seriously and professionally to deliver what is truly needed and provide something valuable to society," says Melro. 

The event featured chef Felipe Bronze and sailor André Homem de Mello, who shared their life experiences and insights into investments. Additionally, Melro recognized key tenants already present in the Eixo Platina, including Thiago Alves, CEO of Regus and Spaces, and Bruno Pfefer, general manager of Intercity Hotels.
