GTIS Partners Completes Sale of Infinity Tower, the Largest Single Asset Property Sale in Brazil
SÃO PAULO and NEW YORK, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GTIS Partners, a global real estate investment firm that manages over $4.3 billion in gross assets with a focus on residential and industrial investments, today announced the sale of 62% of the Triple-A Corporate Building, Infinity Tower. The property, valued at $277 million, is the largest single asset property sale in Brazil's history.
With a strategic location in the Faria Lima region in São Paulo, 233,500 square feet of the 376,700 square foot property was sold by GTIS Partners for $172 million.
"We are pleased to have completed this transaction, which reaffirms that high quality real estate in Brazil remains attractive to investors.

The development is a landmark among AAA buildings with its architectural design, advanced technological resources and high constructive standards.
The acquisition was carried out by the companies Lucio, Omar Maksoud and AMY, which have participated in the venture since 2007 and now own 100% of the asset.
