Through a decree in 1887, Princess Isabel authorized the operation of the Fluminense Mill, which was used to grind wheat and other cereals. The multinational agribusiness Bunge bought the mill in 1914 and occupied the building for over 100 years – until 2015. The building was then sold to Vinci Partners and will be transformed, in partnership with Carioca Engenharia, into a complex which promises to unite commercial, residential, and shopping spaces with a medical center and other installations.
