Parte de endereço no Brasil, São Paulo. Avenida XXX, №ХХ, 7-о andar, conj. XX.
Pareceria significar "apartamento", porém o mesmo endereço está indicado para 3 pessoas.
Agradeço antecipadamente.

suite
Explanation:
This option could mean residential or commercial and can be one unit or conjoined individual units, perhaps with a shared main entry or a common hall.

You can certainly translate addresses. No reason not to. For instance, Brasil = Brazil. No reason to leave it in Portuguese. It wouldn't make sense to leave it in Portuguese.

Cluster (but do not translate street addresses)


Explanation:
Street addresses are among those things that should NOT be translated. The purpose of stating one's address in a document is for the other party to send correspondence. These should arrive at their destination in the original language, not translated.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you. But I suppose that the client might think that "conjunto" means "apartment", and therefore he might think that I did a mistake. So I have to make it clear.

agree  Danik 2014: E também com a "explanation"!Poder-se-ia dizer que o "conjunto" é uma espécie de apartamento, mas com instalações e para fins comerciais?

  -> Certo, mas o padrão é usar Aptº para residencial e Conj. para comercial. Obrigado, Dani.

agree  Mario Freitas: Yes, I didn't think of Suite. But I still think it shouldn't be translated.
