The COBRA Organization its the most powerful political and financial group on Earth, acting mainly towards human freedom and fighting through its military might the G.I Joe imperialists.
Now, through the acquisition of the abandoned Mauá Pier, at Rio de Janeiro City Downtown, Brasil, COBRA is creating is main command base in Latin America: COMPLEXO EMPRESARIAL COBRA (COBRA BUSINESS COMPLEX)
The COBRA Business Complex will have as its main objective the prospection, sales and management of Security Services in Brazil and the rest of Latin America. COBRA has the know-how and the military strenght to fight brazilian criminality. Through agreements forged between COBRA lawyers and the brazilian government, criminals captured by COBRA forces in Brazil will be sent to the COBRA ISLAND for imprisonment, and if possible, to the Brainwashing and Conversion Facility.
The COBRA Business Complex will also supply logistics services (a reason for its position near Rio´s port) through Cobra´s sea and air fleets.
Another important activity will be to serve as consulate for the newly independent Cobra nation, based on Cobra Island.
Finally, several secundary economic activies will happen in the elegant 40 storeys skyscraper that serves as the complex main landmark.
ps: Cobra Commander reminds you all that Cobra Organization IS NOT a terrorist organization as its deceitful spread by some imperialist governments, which in fact simply are against the freedom message that COBRA transmits to the world.

COBRA, PROTECTING YOUR RIGHT TO A BETTER FUTURE
COBRA COMPLEX DESCRIPTION
The Cobra Business Complex consists of 4 commercial buildings, a garage building, a monorail station and rowhouses.
The main building is a marvel of modern architecture, projected by renowed SSC architect Rogério Penna (aka AcesHigh/Trantor (in SSP)
At 40 storeys tall (proposal for 60 storeys seen at end of post, pending approval and municipal urbanistic legislation change by the city administration), it rises to the heights like a snake, with its dark glass panels reminding the scales of a beautiful serpent.

The skyscraper is located over the garage building. Access is found throught the garage building or through to main promenade (which counts with rampstairs, for easy of use by disabilitated people).
There is also an helipad at the northwest corner of the pier.

The building has the highest atrium in Brazil (over 140 meters tall), where visitors will be able to appreciate the internal architecture through panoramic elevators. The building top will serve as observation area, while its 38th and 37th floors will be an exclusive office to Cobra Commander himself, in his visits to the country.

Soon at the pier entrance, to the left, we have some stores which will serve the thousands of brazilian employees who will work at the Cobra Complex, besides the general population, since the complex will be open to the public.
12
Above the stores we can find a building with offices for the administration and security of the complex, besides barracks for a small security task force.
At the left side for visitors, behind the stores, accessible through a secundary street, two commercial buildings of 5 floors, suspended for parking area below, will be open for buying or renting by brazilian investors and businessmen. There are plans, on the other hand, to use one of the buildings as a Cobra Organization History Museum, where you will be able to see the life trajectory of the great man Cobra Commander, from rags to world respected leader, as well as Cobra´s military arsenal and technology.

Still on the main street, visitors will soon see at their left beautiful modernist rowhouses. While the majority of them will be on sale, some will be reserved for temporary housing of top Cobra executives who may be sent to oversee Cobra activities in Brazil.

At the right side of the puier, visitors will be able to walk in a nice tree shadowed path, with the sea of Guanabara Bay at their right side.
The path leades to the main promenade, where they will be able to witness a few great giant sculptures created by the famous scottish sculptor, Destro.

In the same area its located the beautiful monorail station of the complex.

Though the complex counts with a garage building that can park more than 1000 cars in its two pavements, the prediction is that the flux of personel and visitors will fastly expand, and because of that, the monorail will connect the complex to Rio´s subway system, as well to a garage building complex that will be built by COBRA in a later date.
