January 31, 2013. The closure was made official by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) through Ordinance Nº 343/SIA.
Administrative. The heliport was closed 'a pedido do interessado' (at the request of the interested party), which was the owner/operator of the heliport. This indicates the closure was a voluntary decision, likely for economic, operational, or logistical reasons by the building's administration, rather than being forced by an accident, safety violation, or military conversion.
The site is the rooftop of the 'Edifício Atílio Innocenti', an active commercial office building. While the physical concrete helipad and painted markings may still be visible on the roof, it is no longer a licensed or operational heliport. It cannot be legally used for any aircraft landings or takeoffs and serves no aviation function.
The entity at these coordinates is officially registered as the Atílio Innocenti Heliport (official ICAO: SIYN). The name 'Condomínio Edifício Itaquere Heliport' and the code 'BR-1994' appear to be from unofficial or outdated third-party databases; the name 'Itaquere' is geographically incorrect as the heliport is located in the Itaim Bibi district. When active, SIYN was a private heliport situated atop the 'Edifício Atílio Innocenti' office building. Its primary function was to provide executive helicopter transport, a common practice in São Paulo for bypassing the city's severe road traffic. It was a typical example of the urban air mobility infrastructure that supports the city's large business community, registered for both day and night VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations.
There are no known public plans or official prospects for reopening the heliport. For it to become operational again, the building's owners would need to initiate a new, complex and costly registration process with ANAC, ensuring compliance with all current safety, noise, and zoning regulations. Given that it was closed at the owner's request, reopening is considered highly unlikely without a significant change in the building's ownership or tenant needs.
