The shopping division of areas was defined following the natural access and according to the site topography. At the front and flat part of the site are the vehicles' stores; in the middle of the site is the administrative and services' building and at the back part; the lowest part of the site, is located the parking lot, State Dept of Transit (DETRAN) and the Vehicle Parts and accessories' stores. This site planning, besides having an excellent view from the Expressway, takes the client to a walk through the various sections towards the parking and also to the various support services of the shopping, mainly the State Dept. of Transit (DETRAN).
