What AABIC does

AABIC (Associação das Administradoras de Bens Imóveis e Condomínios de São Paulo) is a non-profit trade association founded in 1978 and headquartered at Rua Estados Unidos, 89, Jardim Paulista, São Paulo, Brazil. It represents 77 property and condominium management companies that collectively administer roughly 16,000 condominiums, 1.1 million residential units, and 5 million residents across Greater São Paulo — equivalent to 53% of the regional condominium market. The association provides regulatory guidance, professional training, market intelligence, legal support, networking events, and government advocacy to its members, who are primarily condominium management firms, síndicos (building managers), condominium operational staff (zeladores, porteiros), and real estate lawyers.

Its core offerings include the Academia AABIC e-learning platform (launched in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, with online courses priced around R$150 each), in-person training programs at the São Paulo headquarters, the Sindcall program for síndicos, the PROAD self-regulation certification program (in partnership with Secovi-SP), and an annual calendar of events (Encontro de Advogados, Encontro Anual de Síndicos, Condo360 Summit). AABIC also publishes four proprietary market indices — IPEMIC (condominium delinquency), IPEMIL (rental default), IPEVEMAR (residential rental values), and IPEVECON (condominium cost variation) — which are unique to the Brazilian market and serve as the de facto benchmarks for the São Paulo condominium sector. Revenue is generated through membership fees, training and course fees, event services, and space rental of the headquarters facility, with no publicly disclosed financials.
