Plans to construct the temple were announced 1 March 1975, Church leaders broke ground 20 March 1976, and Spencer W. Kimball, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1973 to 1985, dedicated the São Paulo Brazil Temple 30 October 1978. After the temple was remodeled, Gordon B. Hinckley, president of the Church from 1995 to 2008, rededicated it 22 February 2004. The temple serves Latter-day Saints in Brazil.

The 55,000-square-foot temple’s exterior is reinforced concrete faced with quartz and marble aggregates.

Currently, there are more than 20 temples in various stages of construction or have been announced throughout the world.
