With a gross leasable area of ​​35,600 sqm, the property is currently leased to BRF (BRFS3). The complex consists of a refrigerated warehouse, utilities, offices and parking.

According to the agreement, the value of the deal will be paid in three installments, the first being 132 million Brazilian riyals, the second 28 million Brazilian riyals, and the third 120 million Brazilian riyals.
