Planalto Building

The Planalto Building is a residential tower in República featuring 25 stories with continuous balconies that create clean lines when viewed from the street. The structure comprises three connected blocks housing numerous apartments in varying sizes.

Completed in 1956 by architect João Artacho Jurado, it introduced a fresh architectural approach to São Paulo with colorful elements and varied ornamental details. This style marked a departure from the simpler designs that had dominated the city before.

The building's rooftop hall has served as a filming location for multiple television series, movies, and commercials throughout its existence.

The towers offer apartments ranging from 44 to 127 square meters with ten elevators serving the residents. Visitors can appreciate the architectural design from the street, particularly the distinctive balconies and how the three blocks connect.

The rooftop hall has served as a filming location for television series, films, and commercials over the decades. This elevated space attracted producers seeking distinctive backdrops for their projects.
