Tegra Incorporadora
Our history began in 1889, with the birth of São Paulo Tramway, Light and Power Company Limited, the largest utility company in Latin America.
In 1901, the company inaugurated the Parnaíba Hydroelectric Plant – the largest in Latin America, ensuring the expansion of lighting and tram services in São Paulo. And seven years later, through the Rio de Janeiro Tramway, Light and Power, it opened the Usina de Fontes – at the time, the largest hydroelectric plant in Brazil.
In 1916, it assumed a new identity and prestige: Companhia Telephônica Brasileira (CTB). In 1931, it was part of the inauguration of the largest postcard in Brazil: Christ the Redeemer. The Company was present in all phases of the project, ensuring lighting and rail access to the monument for decades.
In 1958, the group changed its name to Brascan Organização e Investimento LTDA. Since that decade, the Company has developed a strong presence in the real estate market with high quality horizontal developments.
In 2007, we started the Tamboré partnership, with the acquisition of 4.5 million square meters of land bank.
In 2012, for the 4th consecutive year, still as Brookfield Incorporações, the Company was among the 10 most admired companies in Brazil, in the Construction and Development category, according to a survey conducted by Carta Capital magazine. That same year, it was voted the best residential developer in Latin America by Euromoney, a recognition it received again in 2015, among many other important awards.
In 2017, we changed our name to Tegra, which comes from integrity and integration, and we continue our strong presence in São Paulo, Campinas, Rio de Janeiro, and Niterói, with a focus on the middle and high income segments.
In 2018, Tegra Incorporadora consolidated its first Sustainability Policy and decided to go through the process of inserting the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indicators as a way to improve the Company’s sustainability management process.
In 2023, Tegra Incorporadora completed 45 years of existence and reached the mark of more than 26 million square meters built and under construction, more than 106 thousand properties developed, 97 thousand customers and 81 awards received. Keeping ourselves at the forefront of sustainability, in May we launched the 2022 Sustainability Report according to the Integrated Reporting model, a significant advance in the integration of sustainability aspects into the Company’s results and highlighting the importance of this topic for us.
