Banco de Boston Heliport

Corporate Acquisition. The heliport did not physically close but was rebranded. Bank of America sold its BankBoston assets and operations in Brazil to the Brazilian bank Banco Itaú. As a result, all associated assets, including the headquarters and its heliport, were transferred to Itaú and ceased to operate under the 'Banco de Boston' name.

The physical heliport continues to be fully operational. The former BankBoston headquarters building is now a major corporate office for Itaú BBA (the investment banking division of Banco Itaú). The heliport on this building, now known as 'Heliporto Itaú Bank' (ICAO: SILI), is active and serves the executives of Banco Itaú. The site remains a prominent corporate tower in São Paulo's modern financial district.

The heliport was a private facility located atop the Banco de Boston headquarters in São Paulo. It was a critical piece of infrastructure for the bank's operations, primarily used for executive transport. In a city famous for its intense traffic, the heliport allowed senior management and high-value clients to travel quickly to meetings, industrial sites, and airports (like Guarulhos and Congonhas). It was a symbol of corporate efficiency and prestige in the heart of Brazil's financial center.

*Important Note on Provided Data: The ICAO code 'BR-1987' is a non-standard identifier found in some unofficial databases. The coordinates provided (-23.544701, -46.635557) incorrectly point to the Altino Arantes Building (Farol Santander), which historically served a different bank (Banespa) and has its own heliport (ICAO: SDEE). The main BankBoston heliport was located at its headquarters on Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima.*

There are no prospects for the heliport to reopen under the 'Banco de Boston' name. The brand no longer exists in Brazil, having been fully absorbed by Banco Itaú. The heliport itself never ceased operations; it was simply rebranded and continues to function under its new ownership.
