The need to construct shopping plazas to meet the demand of franchises and businesses in offering their products and services has resulted in the growth of steel structure construction. This growth also extends to vertical constructions.

For a commercial plaza, it can be considered medium-sized if its weight is 80 tons. Steel structures for shopping plazas are quoted by weight in kilograms, like any other structure. Less than 60 tons can be considered small, and more than 200 tons can be considered large.
Regarding parking, it is crucial to define whether it will be underground or outdoor. When underground, it will have greater long-term value, although it can significantly increase the project cost.
As for vertical structures, we are talking about structures above 300 tons to be considered a vertical project, not occupying more than 700 m2 of built surface.
Vertical steel structures are a trend that, in the next 15 years, will experience significant growth.
