Even before the retrofit, Cushman & Wakefield already worked with Property Management in the common areas of the condominium and also provided Facilities Management services in the private areas.
2018 – Completion of retrofit
Between 2015 and 2016, the Barão de Maurá Building was vacated to carry out the retrofit. The work was completed in 2018, the property had its facilities completely modernized, which placed it among the best-rated corporate buildings in the city, with LEED Gold certification, which proves that the project complies with strict construction use standards, in addition to the Procel A seal, which attests to its energy efficiency.

2019 – Reoccupation
In 2019, the Barão de Mauá building opened its doors to its new occupant, which would later become the largest electrical energy company in Latin America and one of the largest in the world, becoming a single-user building.
In addition to the common areas, the Cushman & Wakefield team dedicated to the operation provided full support to the occupant during the process of reoccupying the building, going through challenging moments when the COVID-19 pandemic devastated Brazil and the world.
