Turning 3,300 m² into a megastore designed for a distinctive shopping experience is quite a challenge. Doing it in record time—45 days—was an ambitious goal that our team took on and beat. And, as you might expect, few builders can say the same.
With dedicated spaces for consumer electronics brands, gourmet areas for events and workshops, LED panels and rooms designed for full interactivity, the project redefines physical retail. It also shows our team's strength, efficiency and ability to turn unusual challenges into projects delivered to a high standard.
Located in the landmark Centenário building in the Berrini area, the megastore occupies two floors and is part of a larger complex that also houses the retail chain's new administrative headquarters.
The scope was broad: a full retrofit, interior fit-out, structural reinforcement, technical upgrades, a new staircase connecting the floors, modern building systems, high-end finishes and areas prepared for immersive experiences.
All of it was completed in less than two months, turning a bare shell into a complete, functional space full of innovation.
Our team worked with more than 100 suppliers at the same time, focused on the quality of the work and on meeting deadlines. The schedule was intense and precise, and managing it strategically and effectively took technical and operational expertise, with no margin for error or delay.
Of all the projects we have built, this one is without doubt a milestone in our history. It was a demanding delivery, but a meticulously planned one, and it showed that we can keep quality exceptional even on tight deadlines.
