A 48-Hour São Paulo Location Due-Diligence Route for Foreign Executives
A two-day visit should produce evidence, not impressions. Use a fixed route to compare districts at the same hours, inspect building operations and test the real journeys between airport, housing, office and clients.
Strong fit when
Day 1: Faria Lima/Itaim → Vila Olímpia → Berrini/Chucri Zaidan. Day 2: Paulista/Jardins → Pinheiros/Rebouças → airport/temporary-housing route test. Adjust only if client geography points elsewhere.
What can break the thesis
Do not tour 12 buildings in 48 hours. Compare a few representative options with the same checklist: access, lobby/security, meeting infrastructure, floorplate, acoustics, backup power, connectivity, parking, fit-out and total occupancy cost.
