The architectural project will highlight the building’s supporting structure and shape a wide latticework which will protect the façade from sunlight. 

With its column-free floors and natural light, the building’s sole center will include the vertical communication areas.

Located in Calle Puerto de Somport, crossing Calle Quintanadueñas, it will have a surface of 12,600 sqm and include five floors as well as a wide underground parking area. With a clear height of 2.7 m, the diaphanous floors will be free of columns, highly efficient and flexible and extend over a surface of 2,500 sqm.

The new building, which has already been awarded the LEED Platinum precertification (Core & Shell Development) and the highest A energy precertification, will include green areas, in line with a careful project based on landscaping, street furniture, bicycle parking, etc.
