A groundbreaking study by SiiLA has revealed which regions in São Paulo have the highest tenant retention, meaning where companies tend to stay the longest. The analysis found that in the city’s Class A+ and A buildings, the average occupancy period is 18 quarters, equivalent to four years and five months.
SiiLA’s intelligence team analyzed each tenant, identifying their move-in dates and calculating the average length of stay in each region.
Overall, Jabaquara recorded the highest average with 29 quarters, while Chácara Santo Antônio had the lowest, at just eight quarters, indicating a higher tenant turnover.
São Paulo’s key commercial areas, known as Central Business Districts (CBDs), also stand out for their average occupancy periods. Avenida Paulista leads among the CBDs, with tenants staying an average of 27 quarters. Chácara Santo Antônio, previously mentioned, has the shortest occupancy among these areas.
Paulista remains one of the most sought-after locations for businesses. Some of the longest-standing tenants in the region include the Central Bank of Brazil, Citibank, CCEE (Electricity Commercialization Chamber), and NotreDame Participações, all of which have occupied properties there for more than 38 quarters.
In second place is the Juscelino Kubitschek (JK) region, with an average of 26 quarters. The financial sector dominates, but law firms and consulting companies are also prominent. Among the longest-tenured tenants are Barbosa Müssnich Aragão Advogados, BlackRock, BNDES, Ernst & Young, and JLL, all of which have been there for more than 38 quarters.
Faria Lima ranks third, with an average occupancy of 21 quarters. The tenant profile is similar to that of JK, with a predominance of banks, law firms, and investment companies. Banco do Brasil, Caixa, and WarnerMedia are among the 35 tenants that have been in the area for over 38 quarters.
SiiLA’s data indicates that embassies have the longest average occupancy, at 33 quarters, followed by telecommunications companies. The third spot is tied between electronics, coworking, insurance, and government/administration sectors, all averaging 29 quarters.
Additionally, some developments stand out for their long occupancy periods, such as Eco Berrini, Becton Dickinson, Cidade Jardim 350 Corporate, and Módulo Rebouças.
