History

The origin - 1969

The origins of Tenda dates back to the founding of Tenda Engenharia e Comércio in 1969 (currently with no ties to Tenda) .

Stage I (1993-2007) – Foundation and first steps

1993

Tenda is founded in the city of Belo Horizonte under the name Construtora Tenda Ltda. The first activities began in January 1994.

1994 – 2006

After six years of operations in Belo Horizonte, Tenda promotes its first expansion in 1999 to São Paulo. In 2006, Tenda also started to operate in Rio de Janeiro.

2007

In 2007, Tenda made a stronger move towards growth, settling in the metropolitan areas of Salvador, Porto Alegre, Goiânia, Brasília and Vitória.

On October 15, Tenda was listed on B3 (then Bovespa) after initial public offering (IPO) of 67 million shares at the price of R$ 9.00, with a distribution of R$ 603 million and a 55.07% of its shares outstanding.

Stage II (2008 to 2011) – Gafisa incorporates Tenda to access the affordable housing market

2008

In October 2008, Tenda incorporated FIT Residencial Empreendimentos Imobiliários Ltda., previously controlled by Gafisa.

2009

Brazilian federal government creates the Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) program.

In December 2009, the merger of Tenda’s shares into Gafisa is approved, with the exchange of Company shares for the shares of its parent company.
