Finished in 1947, it is 161,22m tall (with the spire) and has 35 stories. 14 lifts serve the building. In 1948 it was declared the tallest concrete structure in the world and was Sao Paulo's tallest structure for 20 years.

One of my favorite buildings in SP (I generally do not rate buildings which polls I have created but in this case is an exception)

9.5/10

10/10, one of our most beautiful classic buildings, is our version of the empire states of latinoamérica.

when i say OUR is because it is a symbol for OUR continent.

deserves a 10 for being a landmark in SP and for being innovative in the time it was built

Una pasada de edificios, me encanta esta arquitectura de los años 30-40, además esta edificio a diferencia de los demás tiene una base muy estrecha lo que debe de impresionar más, y bastante variedad de formas en las diferentes alturas, el color es el típico, pero se merece un 9,5 :D
