From early design, an integrated approach embedded sustainability across all disciplines, prioritizing energy-efficient systems, reduced water consumption, resilient landscapes that enhance biodiversity and spaces that support well-being and community interaction. During construction, strict material selection focused on lowering embodied carbon and meeting high environmental and human-health standards. Particular care has also been taken to protect existing green areas, safeguard soil and vegetation and limit noise, dust and other forms of pollution that could affect the surrounding environment. These combined efforts provide robust evidence of the project’s holistic sustainability strategy, ensuring long-term environmental quality and enhanced user experience.
The original building lacked any meaningful connection to its surroundings and users. The project introduces strategies to improve quality of life by encouraging healthier, more sustainable mobility, including secure bicycle and scooter parking with repair facilities, lockers and showers. A mobility plan was developed to reduce car dependence and promote sustainable commuting. An outdoor ground-floor gym provides opportunities for exercise and improved physical health while a dedicated lactation room supports work–life balance. The creation of an ecological habitat with native, climate-appropriate species, nesting elements, and pollinator-friendly vegetation enhances local biodiversity. This ecological enhancement improved a restorative outdoor experience for occupants and the community
This building was designed to meet the highest sustainability standards, fully aligned with the CRREM curve and the Paris Agreement targets. It has obtained LEED Platinum, BREEAM Excellent, WELL Gold certifications and it wiil be the first Zero Carbon building in Spain thanks to a Power Purchase Agreement that ensures all consumed energy will be green sourced and during construction phase the embodied carbon levels were maintained below 500 kgCO₂e/m². A detailed life cycle assessment was carried out to minimize the project’s carbon footprint across all stages of its development. The building envelope was optimized to reduce thermal losses and its mechanical and electrical systems prioritized significant reductions in operational energy demand compared with a conventional building
The building envelope was optimized to reduce thermal losses through very low transmittance materials, high-performance glazing with reduced solar heat gain, and orientation-specific solar-control devices. All building materials were assessed for life-cycle impact, reducing the overall carbon footprint. Mechanical and electrical systems were designed to reinforce low-energy operation. Air recirculation and demand-control ventilation reduce unnecessary thermal loads, while high-efficiency lighting and daylight-responsive dimming cut electricity use and internal heat gains. Water-saving fixtures lower domestic hot water demand by roughly 40%, and high-efficiency VRF units provide heating and cooling with reduced energy consumption. From a technological standpoint, it has achieved WiredScore Platinum and is the sixth building in Spain to obtain SmartScore Platinum, incorporating sensors every 15 sqm and a digital twin capable of monitoring all performance data and optimizing the building’s operation reducing the energy consumption. Beyond tangible benefits, the building promotes wellbeing, talent retention, and reinforces the brand’s link to technology, sustainability and efficiency—setting a benchmark for office buildings in Spain.
We see this project as a major step toward a more responsible real estate portfolio. The building’s energy demand has been significantly reduced through a carefully engineered design and an advanced technological framework that continuously monitors performance. It creates a healthier, more sustainable environment while supporting strong ESG commitments, enhancing Net Operating Income, and delivering clear value to both tenants and owners
