Frequently Asked Questions

Brazil offers Latin America's largest logistics market with robust infrastructure connecting major population centers. The market benefits from growing e-commerce demand, nearshoring opportunities, and government infrastructure investments. We leverage these fundamentals to identify locations that provide sustainable competitive advantages for our clients.

Brazil's environmental licensing follows a structured three-phase process: Preliminary License (LP), Installation License (LI), and Operation License (LO). We navigate these requirements proactively, coordinating with IBAMA for federal projects and state/municipal agencies for regional developments. Our expertise typically reduces approval timelines by 20-30% through proper preparation and regulatory relationship management.

São Paulo remains the dominant market with over 1 million sq.m of annual absorption, while emerging markets in Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, and Northeastern states provide attractive expansion opportunities. We analyze each market's infrastructure, labor availability, and regulatory environment to recommend locations that align with specific operational requirements and growth strategies.

Our teams maintain current expertise across federal, state, and municipal regulations affecting industrial development. We coordinate with local authorities throughout project lifecycles, ensuring compliance with environmental standards, building codes, and operational permits. This proactive approach minimizes regulatory delays while ensuring long-term operational compliance.
