Paulista & Jardins: Centrality, Transit and Executive Convenience
Paulista/Jardins is a centrality play: strong transit, hotels, services and recognizable business address, especially when the company’s client geography is dispersed across the city.
Strong fit when
Useful for professional services, healthcare, associations, regional management and teams that value Line 2/4 connectivity and executive amenities.
What can break the thesis
C&W Q2 2026 showed Paulista at 2.83% vacancy and R$140/m²/month in its monitored Class A stock. JLL separately reported very low vacancy on Avenida Paulista at end-2025 under a different methodology. Low vacancy can limit contiguous options.

Decision questions
- Is central transit access more valuable than proximity to Faria Lima?
- Does the team need hotel/restaurant density for visiting executives?
- Is the required floorplate available without compromising building quality?
