What was the fit-out timeline, and which model was used?

The fit-out of the model office in CENU Torre Norte took 90 days. In that time, CH3's engineering and architecture professionals designed and built the floor's 1,250 m², with 80 open-plan workstations, brainstorming rooms, directors' offices, phone booths, collaborative squad areas and a kitchenette.

The Plug and Play model

The contract model adopted was Plug and Play, a format in which the commercial property is delivered ready for immediate use. The company that signs the contract does not need to hire design, construction and suppliers on its own. It moves into an office whose layout, building systems and rooms are already resolved.

Why the format has been growing

Plug and Play has been gaining ground in the market because it makes real estate deals easier on both sides of the negotiation:

• for the owner of the commercial property, a ready-to-use floor helps close medium- and long-term leases, which are the goal of anyone who invests in office space
• for the tenant, it is an immediate solution for companies that need to streamline a move to a new business address and would rather have convenience than invest time and resources in a build of their own

What the 90 days represent

The 90-day timeline covers the complete transformation of the floor, from design to handover. In a building more than 20 years old, like CENU, this timeline shows that modernizing a traditional space can happen without long periods of construction. For the owner, it means bringing the floor to market sooner. For the future occupant, it means evaluating a finished space, not a design on paper.
