Understand

For most of the past century, these neighborhoods of the South Zone were calm and residencial, strong influenced by Germam immigrants who lived in little ranchs. On the 60s and 70s however, the constant expansion of the city on a northeast-southwest direction made the region become the new point for business, hotels and residencial launches. Some of the only-housing streets have become home to residencial high rises and the whole area around Avenida Engenheiro Luis Carlos Berrini, and paralell Avenida Marginal Pinheiros are now packed with top class office buildings.
