Nubank Will Invest R$ 2.5 Billion Over Five Years to Modernize Offices in Brazil and Abroad, Create Innovation Centers, Expand Physical Capacity, Adapt to Hybrid Work Starting in 2026, and Support the Expansion of a Client Base That Already Exceeds 122 Million Customers.
The Nubank is starting a large-scale structural transformation by announcing an investment of R$ 2.5 billion aimed at creating mega-offices, expanding innovation hubs, and adapting to a hybrid work model. This change aligns with the company’s accelerated growth and the need to sustain an increasingly complex operation.
With units planned in Brazil and abroad, the Nubank’s plan involves new corporate spaces capable of housing thousands of employees, promoting in-person collaboration, and supporting a client base that already reaches 122.7 million people spread across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia.
Physical Expansion to Sustain Nubank’s Growth
The Nubank’s investment will be distributed over five years, with structural changes starting in 2026. The focus is on expanding and modernizing offices to accommodate the increase in the team and the consolidation of the hybrid work model.

Brazilian city gains industrial hub for 85 companies that is equivalent to 55 football fields.
The proposal is to create environments for collaboration, innovation, and integration among teams, with spaces designed to stimulate co-creation and constant exchanges between professionals. The physical structure will be treated as a strategic element of growth, evolving from being merely an operational support point.
Mega-Offices in São Paulo Expand Capacity in Pinheiros
In São Paulo, the Nubank is concentrating a significant part of its expansion with two new complexes in the Pinheiros neighborhood. The first is Cyrela Corporate, developed in partnership with Pininfarina, which will have 35,000 square meters and capacity for over 3,000 employees.
The second is Capote 210, a 20-story building designed to function as a center for innovation and product co-creation. With the occupation of these two spaces, Nubank’s capacity for workstations in Pinheiros will reach 5,700 positions, a number that exceeds more than five times the company’s current setup in the region.
In addition to the physical expansion, the buildings will feature rest areas, convenience services, and pet-friendly environments, reinforcing the idea that the corporate space will be designed for the frequent presence of employees.
New Nubank Offices in Brazil and Abroad
The Nubank’s strategy is not limited to the São Paulo capital. New office openings are planned in Campinas, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte by the second half of 2026, expanding the company’s presence in relevant technology and service hubs.
Abroad, the Nubank already has spaces in Miami and Palo Alto, and plans new openings in Washington, D.C., and Buenos Aires.
This geographical distribution aligns with the international expansion of the client base and the need for physical presence in strategic centers of innovation and technology.
Hybrid Model Redefines Nubank Employees’ Routine
The reformulation of the physical structure is directly linked to the new work model of the Nubank, which will require in-person attendance from a significant portion of the team.
Starting in July 2026, 70 percent of employees will need to be present in the offices for two days a week.
The expectation is that, by January 2027, employees will work in person up to three days a week.
The change aims to increase interaction among teams and strengthen a dynamic and innovative environment, even though it has elicited mixed reactions among professionals.
Team Growth Accompanies Nubank’s Space Expansion
In recent years, the Nubank has recorded a 26 percent growth in the number of employees, reaching a total of 9,500 workers.
The expansion of the offices directly responds to this evolution of the workforce.
The new structure needs to accommodate a larger company, with more complex operations and areas that require constant integration, especially in technology, products, and innovation.
The physical space is now seen as a driver of productivity and corporate culture.
Infrastructure as a Foundation to Serve 122.7 Million Customers
The Nubank’s movement aligns with the accelerated growth of the client base, which already sums up to 122.7 million across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia.
The expansion of infrastructure accompanies the scale of operations and the increased demand for the development of new financial services.
By investing R$ 2.5 billion in offices and innovation hubs, the Nubank signals that digital growth also requires robust physical support, capable of integrating teams, accelerating decisions, and sustaining the ongoing evolution of the company.
With new buildings, a structured hybrid model, and an expanded presence within and outside Brazil, the Nubank is redesigning its operational base to support the next phase of expansion.
Do you believe that this new office format from Nubank will really enhance innovation and productivity among teams?
