Case History

Transactions
  • Four simultaneous acquisitions for Zagros Capital's real estate funds
Structured and coordinated four acquisitions of logistics and hospitality assets in São Paulo and Minas Gerais for GGRC11 and ZAGH11, two real estate investment funds managed by Zagros Capital, totaling approximately R$ 373.7 million. The transactions involved four different sellers and combined purchases of SPE quotas and of real estate, covering a completed hotel, a delivered and fully leased warehouse and two developments under construction. All four were closed on a common timeline aligned with the funds' offerings, with payment largely made by set-off against credits from the offerings, so that in most of the transactions the funds did not disburse cash.
  • Mega Lobster: three work fronts, one contract (Tecto Data Centers, Fortaleza)
Structured the construction contracts for Mega Lobster, the 20 MW hyperscale data center of Tecto Data Centers, a V.tal subsidiary, at Praia do Futuro, in Fortaleza. A data center is at least three projects: civil works, high-voltage electrical infrastructure and the installation of critical equipment, each with its own supplier and technical regime, but with interdependent schedules. Instead of three independent contracts, we designed a single framework: an umbrella contract sets everything common to the project (definitions, governance, master schedule, compliance, change and contingency rules, and the interfaces between suppliers), and each discipline is engaged through its own work order, with the civil works by Afonso França Engenharia and the substation by a specialized supplier. The key equipment, purchased directly by Tecto, follows the same master schedule and chain of responsibility. The payment structure and the classification of each service were designed for tax neutrality, avoiding double taxation along the chain, and a controlled change procedure keeps an adjustment in one front from breaking the whole. Mega Lobster was inaugurated on October 23, 2025, with 10 data halls and 20 MW of total capacity.
