A New Era of Modernity Arrives in Chapecó with the Construction of an Architectural Giant That Promises to Boost Tourism, Transform the Skyline, and Attract Great Business Opportunities to the Region.
New Skyscraper Coming: When we talk about the largest skyscrapers in Brazil, cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro often dominate the conversation. But Chapecó, in Western Santa Catarina, is about to change this narrative with the impressive project of the CESEC Building, which promises to be not only a landmark in the city but also one of the largest buildings in Brazil. The initiative, led by three major local business entities — ACIC, CDL, and SICOM — is a bold step that blends innovation, sustainability, and a good dose of ambition.
The New Skyscraper of Chapecó Promises to Surprise the Industry
With 236 meters in height and 64 floors, the CESEC Building will be more than just a tall building. It is being planned to be a true “vertical neighborhood”, uniting different functions in one place. The project includes spaces for residences, offices, health clinics, hotels, gyms, cultural centers, and even a shopping center. This all on a 10,000 m² lot on Avenida Getúlio Vargas, one of the main streets in the city.
This new skyscraper will not only be a symbol of Chapecó’s modernization but also a tribute to the city’s history. According to architect Enio Vivian, who is responsible for the project, the choice of bronze as the predominant color reflects the resilience and pioneering spirit that shaped Western Santa Catarina.

Chapecó and the Leap Toward the Largest Buildings in Brazil
With the CESEC Building, Chapecó joins the elite group of cities that host some of the largest skyscrapers in Brazil. The structure will stand out not only for its size but also for its innovative and sustainable design. The building’s smooth curves and rounded corners are not just aesthetic; they help reduce wind impact, ensuring greater safety and stability.
Additionally, the tube-in-tube structural system has been adopted to optimize construction, ensuring that the building is both robust and efficient. Another highlight is the use of sustainable technologies, ranging from energy savings to natural ventilation.
An Investment of R$ 750 Million
Budgeted at R$ 750 million, the project will be executed in three phases over 10 years. Each phase of the CESEC Building has been planned to ensure that the venture adapts to the city’s demands and generates economic return for the involved entities. The first phase will house the headquarters of ACIC, CDL, and SICOM, while subsequent phases will include a variety of services and residences.
This strategy not only ensures the financial self-sufficiency of the project but also strengthens Chapecó’s position as a hub for innovation and economic development. The venture is being seen as a opportunity to boost the city, attracting investments and bringing international visibility.
Urban and Environmental Impact
The impact of this new skyscraper goes far beyond its impressive height. The project has been carefully designed to harmoniously integrate into Chapecó’s urban environment. Spacious setbacks between buildings will ensure that neighboring structures are not harmed by shadows or ventilation blockages.
Sustainability is another strong point of the CESEC Building. In addition to incorporating modern construction processes, the building will feature technologies that promote energy efficiency and water consumption reduction. All of this reinforces the commitment of local business entities to responsible urban development.
A Symbol of Unity and Progress
The CESEC Building is more than just a real estate venture; it symbolizes the unity of different sectors of Chapecó’s society. According to the presidents of the involved entities, the project marks the beginning of a new era of collaboration and synergy among the city’s main economic forces.
This new skyscraper will also be a source of inspiration for future generations, showing what can be achieved when there is determination and vision for the future. For the businesspeople and residents of Chapecó, CESEC will be a constant reminder that innovation and progress go hand in hand.
What Comes Next?
Although it is still in the early stages, the CESEC Building project is already generating great expectations. The next steps include completing the architectural designs, obtaining the necessary permits, and accrediting partners, such as contractors and investors.
One thing is certain: when completed, CESEC will not only be one of the largest buildings in Brazil but also a landmark for Chapecó and all of Western Santa Catarina. It will put the city in the spotlight on the national and international stage, opening doors for new opportunities and reaffirming the potential of a region that never stops growing.
Prossegue o campeonato nacional de Cidades Mais Brega do Brasil. Disputa boba de qual cidade tem o maior edifício.
Lembrando que pra um edifício ser considerado um arranha céu ele tem que ter no mínimo 250 metros. Infelizmente esse não é arranha céu
São Paulo não tem prédios altos , a lei municipal não permite , Rio de Janeiro menos ainda , se houver um grande arranha céu em São Paulo, com certeza será no interior do estado !
