Infrastructure:

accordance to the guidelines of sustainability, where the long sides of the building are facing the north
and south, minimizing the suns heat, making the building habitable and maximizing the comfort of the
facilities with a low energy requirement.
Following the same approach, the building of the parking areas has open fronts for ventilation and
reduction of safety hazards in case of fires.
The project includes 84.696 m2 of building construction: 29.748 m2 of sellable or rentable office area,
1.860 m2 of commercial space, indoor parking space and warehouses.

new concept for corporate offices, penthouse style, with the advantage of spectacular views, green
terraces and double height ceilings.
