This historic 24-storey building is 83 metres high and was designed by the architects Santiago Balcells y Francesc Mitjansinspired by the Pirelli Tower in Milan. It was the tallest building in the city for a year, until the completion of the Torre Colón in 1970.

In this comprehensive refurbishment, special emphasis has been placed on sustainability, improving energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint.
