We give a new proof of a theorem of Kleiner-Leeb: that any quasi-isometrically embedded Euclidean space in a product of symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings is contained in a metric neighborhood of finitely many flats, as long as the rank of the Euclidean space is not less than the rank of the target. A bound on the size of the neighborhood and on the number of flats is determined by the size of the quasi-isometry constants. Without using asymptotic cones, our proof focuses on the intrinsic geometry of symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings by extending the proof of Eskin-Farb's quasiflat with holes theorem for symmetric spaces with no Euclidean factors.
