Construction of Mirante do Vale

1966

The Mirante do Vale is a skyscraper in the centre of Sao Paulo, Brazil, near the Vale do Anhangabau. For decades it was recognised as the tallest building in Brazil, and its name means Valley Lookout. It is a mixed-use tower with offices and apartments, set in a part of the city that was transformed by tall buildings during the twentieth century. Its height made it one of the symbols of the downtown skyline.
