Description
The building is strategically located in São Cristovão, at Rua General Bruce 55.
The building comprises a total constructed area of approximately 4,000 m2, on 4 floors, on a landplot of about 950 m2. There exists the possibility of adding at least 2 floors (the building has a solid structure and construction). The pre-reform building was originally constructed in the 1940s by a glass company. The underfloor was planned by the government as a protection bunker, which explains the highly solid sub-structure.
The current owner acquired the building in 1980 and after the renovation it was used as media studio complex (recording, subtitling and dubbing studios, video and sound editing, mixing, distribution of films for television, theater production, advertising)
The Ground floor comes with free areas and a ceiling height of more than 6 meters. It is very well located, with proximity to the two airports, Galeão and Santos Dumont. There is also a direct – and fast – route to Barra da Tijuca, via Linha Amarela. The south zone can be reached in 25 minutes and Rio downtown in 20 minutes.
The region is secure – in 36 years there has never been a problem of assault on employees and / or visitors. The building is next to Ipiranga and the TRT and TJRJ deposits. The place is therefore super protected, 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.
The area is undergoing a recent revitalization process, which started with the reopening of the Campo de São Cristóvão. Almost in front and to the side there is a landplot with more than 3,500 square meters and there are several modern residential complexes. Our new neighbors are firms such as Mary Zaide (Confection), General Archive of the State Court of Justice and Regional Archive of T.R.T. The Municipality and State of Rio de Janeiro have several tax exemption programs for activities such as, for example, clothing and fashion, Tele-attendance and others.
Additionally, the building has its own parking for up to 8 vehicles with easy entry and exit for cargo trucks, through two gates 5 meters high and 4 meters wide. There is light and power with sufficient installed capacity even for a TV station. The building was originally used for more than 30 years by a Production Company and Distributor for TV, Video and Cinema, it has ample spaces for offices, warehouses, etc. The space for the Board and Commercial Department is ample, with rooms for Archives, Conferences – all of the highest level and perfect state of conservation. It allows a new division of spaces that would triple the current capacity.
Originally, the building was built by Banco do Brasil, for its printing shop, with heavy machinery and, after the acquisition by our group of companies, it underwent extensive renovations, signed by Architect Roberto Gonçalves, with details such as, for example, “color bar” strips on the facade.
The building has the structure to be expanded with the construction of two more floors (“retrofit”) and, in the basement, it has a cafeteria, rehearsal hall, technical warehouses, changing rooms and bathrooms.
The mezzanine of the studios also has dressing rooms, restrooms, a sewing room, with a capacity for up to 2 simultaneous productions. The attachments that include repair shops, joinery and support rooms. Furthermore, the building has a cistern with a capacity of 60,000 liters and a water tank with a capacity of 40,000 liters.
Each floor allows for an operation independent of the other. In the technical area, on the Ground Floor, 2nd and 3rd floors, there is cabling and raised floor (priceless construction value) that allows for quick adaptation for specific purposes in any area of activity.
All studios and mixing rooms have adequate insulation and sound treatment. The video studios have an elevated floor and cycloramas for back projection – allowing the use of virtual scenarios.
The building and its contents are properly insured.
