The Anchieta Building (Portuguese: Edifício Anchieta) is located in the Consolação neighborhood, on the corner of Paulista Avenue, Consolação Street and Angélica Avenue, in the city of São Paulo. Designed in 1941 by the architecture office MMM Roberto (architects Marcelo, Milton, and Maurício Roberto brothers), notable for his contributions to Brazilian Modern Architecture, the Anchieta building was constructed in 1941. It is part of the vertical housing concept that was becoming more common in the central areas of the city, with design focused on functionality and efficiency, features often associated with modern architecture.
The building has 60 apartments, 12 duplexes, a front garden, and colored tiles. It was financed and designed aiming to house employees of the Institute of Retirement and Pensions for Industrial Workers (Instituto de Aposentadorias e Pensões dos Industriários — IAPI). With a total floor area of 2970.60 m² and a constructed area of 12331.38 m², the building consists of a first floor, a superstore, as well as 10 terraces and a garden.
Anchieta was originally supposed to be divided between residential, commercial, and service uses, but it is currently only used for residential and commercial purposes. The building also contains the Riviera Bar.
Currently, the building is in the process of being listed by Municipal Council for the Preservation of the Historical, Cultural and Environmental Heritage of the City of São Paulo (Conselho Municipal de Preservação do Patrimônio Histórico, Cultural e Ambiental da Cidade de São Paulo - CONPRESP) and is included in the Strategic Regional Plan of the city's Sub-prefectures, the Special Cultural Preservation Zone (Zona Especial de Preservação Cultural – ZEPEC).
