The Government of the State of São Paulo, through the Secretariat for Partnerships and Investments (SPI), is launching this Monday (22) the public consultation for the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project for Urban Development and Housing in the Central Region of São Paulo. The initiative foresees the construction of 6,575 new housing units in the city’s central area, divided into two lots, with a total estimated investment of R$ 2.5 billion.
The goal is to expand the supply of housing through the implementation of Social Interest Housing (HIS) and Affordable Market Housing (HMP) units, combined with infrastructure works, installation of public facilities, promotion of economic and social activities, and the provision of social services.
The concession is organized into two lots, covering the neighborhoods of Sé, República, and Santa Cecília, and foresees a 20-year contract.
Public consultation
Society will be able to contribute suggestions to improve the project between September 22 and October 23, 2025. Project materials will be available in the data room upon request via email at ppphabitacaocentro@cpp.sp.gov.br. Contributions submitted within the deadline and with all required information will be considered.
It is also possible to access the materials and obtain information on the project’s page on the SPI website. The opening of the consultation was published in the State Official Gazette last Friday (09/19).
Expected benefits
The project promotes urban development and the revitalization of the city center, reducing the housing deficit and offering homes in areas with extensive urban infrastructure, transportation, services, and employment opportunities. In addition to housing, the project foresees the restoration of the historic Quartel Tabatinguera, enhancing the city’s cultural heritage.
The project is part of the São Paulo State Investment Partnerships Program (PPI-SP) and is aligned with public administration guidelines and goals aimed at expanding land regularization, revitalization, and re-urbanization of the capital’s central region.
