Currently the city is expanding towards the south, so the site is not directly situated in an area of expansion. However, Agua Branca is next to the district of Lapa, which is a pleasant residential zone, traditionally an Italian district. Moreover the surrounding infrastructure and the access to Casa das Caldeiras are very good with many expressways in the vicinity.
