The asset has six floors and a total usable area of ​​about 3,200 square meters and could be for sale at around €25 million according to market sources.
It includes a top floor known as “Madrid’s Sky” which was designed by Jose Manuel Fernandez and Germán Álvarez echoeing the original architectural rationalist design put in place by Gutiérrez Soto.
