Earlier, Brazilian media reported that dozens of people had been injured.
About 20 people were initially trapped in a room that did not collapse, according to the state government in São Paulo, which cited initial reports from emergency services.
The building is located in the Bras district, a commercial hub of the metropolis, home to various department stores.
Images broadcast by Brazilian media show that a large portion of the commercial building has collapsed. The facade was not completely destroyed, but a significant portion of the building’s structure has caved in.
