Chicago, ILOur story
In 1909, nine-year-old Ângelo Smirne crossed the Atlantic from Nemoli, Italy, to Brazil. His sons built the building of his dreams and half a city in Araraquara — streets, neighborhoods, more than 500 homes. Today the third generation builds in Chicago.
A street in Brazil carries the family name. A building carries the grandfather's. This site carries the whole story.

Third generation, second ocean.
Founder & CEO — S9 Corporation
Frederico Smirne is the third generation of a family of builders. His grandfather Ângelo left Nemoli, Italy, for Brazil in 1909 and worked wood his whole life; his father's company developed entire neighborhoods in Araraquara, São Paulo.
In 2014, Frederico carried the family trade across a second ocean — remodeling homes in Chicago. Today he leads the S9 companies: e-commerce, construction and marketing consulting, all under one roof and one name.
"We come from people who built things that outlasted them. That is the standard."
