·         Pátio Victor Malzoni:

Comprising two towers, the North Tower has 22,921 m² of private area and a 35.35% share owned by the BlueMacaw Catuaí Triple A REIT (BLCA11). The South Tower, with 45,959 m² of area, has a 32.13% share owned by the Pateo Bandeirantes REIT (PATB11).

·         JK 180:

With 12,833 m² of area, this asset was built in 2016 and has the Brisa Renda Imobiliária REIT as one of its owners, with a 35.70% share.

Analyzing all the properties surveyed, the average vacancy rate stands at 6.9%. In terms of the largest occupants, BTG Pactual Bank and Google appear at the top (both having their headquarters in Pátio Victor Malzoni), followed by the Asian e-commerce company Shopee (located in Faria Lima Plaza).

"The Faria Lima and JK regions are well-established for the high-end office market, attracting large companies and multinational tenants, which provides greater security to potential investors due to the low risk of floor returns that could impact vacancy rates and dividend reductions. In addition, these regions have shown great resilience to the Covid-19 pandemic, with low vacancies during the return to offices and an increase in asking prices," comments Giancarlo Nicastro, CEO of SiiLA.
