Vincent Tabak was detained in the early hours of Thursday after police investigating the 25-year-old's death uncovered fresh evidence.
Following the arrest, specialist search teams moved into the flat neighbouring Miss Yeates' at 44 Canynge Road, Clifton, Bristol.
Dutch engineer Mr Tabak is registered as living at the address with his girlfriend Tanja Morson.
Workers have erected scaffolding and a 12ft high green tarpaulin at the rear of the Victorian property.
The screen covers the entrance to Flat 1 - Mr Tabak's - and the rear of the apartment Miss yeates shared with her boyfriend, Greg Reardon, 27.
Forensic examinations are continuing in Canynge Road and at a terrace property about a mile away in Aberdeen Road, Cotham, where it is believed Mr Tabak was arrested.
:: Dec 17: Joanna leaves the Ram pub at 8pm to walk home.
:: Dec 20: Police make first appeal over Joanna's disappearance.
:: Dec 26: Police confirm a body found on Christmas Day is that of Joanna.
Police officers were seen at the offices of his employer, international engineering consultancy Buro Happold, in Lower Bristol Road, Bath.
The firm, and several colleagues, referred all inquiries to Avon and Somerset Police, although the force has not named the man in custody.
Mr Tabak completed a PhD several years ago at Eindhoven University of Technology.
He speaks three languages and is an expert in the flow of people through buildings, including sports venues.
It is thought he had just returned to Britain from a holiday when he was arrested and spent Christmas in the Netherlands with his family.
Miss Yeates disappeared on Friday December 17 after going for Christmas drinks with colleagues at her architectural firm.
Mr Reardon reported her missing after he returned to Bristol on December 19 following a weekend away visiting family in Sheffield.
A huge police operation swung into action after her frozen body was found dumped in a lane on the outskirts of Bristol on Christmas Day. She had been strangled.
Miss Yeates's father has welcomed the latest development, which comes almost five weeks after she disappeared.
Speaking at the family home in Ampfield, Hampshire, David Yeates, 63, said he was "pleased" the police investigation appeared to be "moving forward".
