This included hosting a wealth of executive offices and administrative departments responsible for overseeing and guiding not only Vanguard's South American aspirations but also the entirety of the megacorporation's efforts worldwide.

History
In 2180 the New Director of Vanguard Enterprises personally oversees the commissioning and construction of Vanguard Tower in Sao Paulo. Emphasizing her hands-on approach and commitment to expanding Vanguard's operations in Brazil. The entire undertaking takes about a year to plan before breaking ground. Vanguard Enterprises and more specifically Director Sinclair scoured the globe for internationally renowned Architects, and the best in-house Engineers and designers to bring her vision to life.
The Tower was structurally completed ahead of schedule, showcasing the megacorporation's efficiency and expertise in construction and engineering. The striking architectural elements capture the imagination of the public and generate attention and publicity for the company emerging into the South American Market. This gave more time, and motivation to the designers of the interior to curate functionality with aesthetics, bridging the gap with emergent Vanguard technologies to create a futuristic yet sustainable work environment. However, this beautiful blending of technology ideals and sustainability is not without its own teeth. The interior of the building is outfitted with state-of-the-art security measures and will continue to be updated with similar technologies that are designed and tested in-house.
