Edifício-sede da B3, Corporate building in downtown São Paulo, Brazil

The B3 headquarters building is a commercial structure in downtown São Paulo featuring classical architectural elements and Italian marble staircases. Its 10 floors spanning around 18,000 square meters house workspaces and conference facilities for financial operations.

The building dates from the 1940s and belonged to Comind, the Banco do Comércio da Indústria, which lost it in 1985 through extrajudicial liquidation. Bovespa bought it at auction in 1986 for 10 million dollars. After a major renovation that expanded the floor area from 12,000 to 18,000 square metres, the new headquarters of the São Paulo stock exchange was inaugurated in 1990.

The building serves as a meeting place where financial professionals gather for conferences and training on market operations. Its library and two auditoriums shape the daily interaction of specialists in this center.

The building is located on Rua 15 de Novembro in the city center and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that access to certain areas may be restricted and advance notice may be required.

The building was bought by Bovespa at auction in 1986 for 10 million dollars, after its former owner, Comind bank, lost it in 1985 through extrajudicial liquidation. A renovation then raised the floor area from 12,000 to 18,000 square metres before the exchange's new headquarters opened in 1990.
