List of tallest buildings in Brazil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martinelli Building, first Brazilian skyscraper
This list of the tallest buildings in Brazil ranks Brazilian skyscrapers in order by height. In the history of Brazil, there hasn't been much necessity for supertall structures. Most of Brazil's tallest buildings are located in São Paulo, which is the biggest financial center of the country, and its biggest residential center. Thus, the majority of these buildings are residential. Office buildings built taller than residential buildings is a phenomenon that occurs less frequently in most other Brazilian cities.
This scenario may well change in the next decades, as Brazil is experiencing substantial economic growth.
The first skycraper in Brazil was the Martinelli Building in São Paulo, completed in 1929.
