Edifício do Banco do Brasil, Financial landmark in Downtown São Paulo, Brazil

The Edifício do Banco do Brasil is a skyscraper in downtown São Paulo standing 143 meters (469 feet) tall across 24 floors. Positioned at the corner of São Bento Street and São João Avenue, it continues to function as an active commercial hub today.

Completed in 1954, this building marked a turning point for São Paulo's financial sector. Its opening shifted the banking center away from the earlier location on Álvares Penteado Street to this new area.

The building's main entrance faces Rua São Bento, while smaller entrances open onto Avenida São João and Rua Líbero Badaró. Its beige façade comes from the small tiles used as cladding, and the stepped profile lets it be seen from distant points of the city. It stands in the old financial centre, near the B3 exchange and former bank headquarters such as Banespa and Unibanco.

The main entrance faces Rua São Bento; smaller entrances open onto Avenida São João and Rua Líbero Badaró, the São João facade being the largest and facing the Edifício Martinelli across Praça Antônio Prado. The three streets meet at the building, so it can be reached from any side of the block in the Centro Histórico.

The facade facing Avenida São João is the largest of the three, and it looks straight across Praça Antônio Prado at the Edifício Martinelli, the city's first skyscraper. The main entrance, however, opens on Rua São Bento, not on the avenue.
