Berrini, the corporate axis São Paulo built along the Pinheiros River

An avenue with a signature

Avenida Engenheiro Luís Carlos Berrini took shape from the 1970s onward, and much of its identity comes from architect Carlos Bratke, who designed many of the glass-and-steel buildings that defined its skyline. To the south, it crosses Avenida Jornalista Roberto Marinho and continues along the Chucri Zaidan axis.

Unlike Faria Lima, Berrini has no dominant sector. Telecommunications, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, services, technology and financial companies share the area, with business hotels, restaurants and the proximity of Congonhas making life easier for those who travel often.

When the cost of the neighboring avenue weighs, Berrini enters the equation

The more expensive Faria Lima becomes, the more Berrini appears in comparisons. Market surveys point to values well below those on the Faria Lima, Itaim and JK axis, in buildings of a similar technical standard, and the area has attracted companies that prioritize cost efficiency.

Access has also been strengthened. In addition to CPTM Line 9-Emerald, the area is served by the Line 17-Gold monorail, which runs along Avenida Jornalista Roberto Marinho and connects Morumbi Station to Congonhas Airport.

Space, standard and cost under control

For operations that need a larger area, a good technical standard and controlled occupancy costs, Berrini tends to be one of the fairest comparisons with Faria Lima. The address is well known, access via the Marginal is direct and Congonhas counts for those who receive visitors from out of town.

Retail in the area lives off the corporate public: lunch restaurants, cafés, convenience stores and services. For businesses of this kind, weekday traffic sustains the operation, and it is worth looking closely at weekend activity.
