Torre de Cristal

The growth of Madrid in the 21st century began in mid-2003 with the urban development of the Cuatro Torres complex on the site of the former Real Madrid Sports City, located along the Paseo de la Castellana. Within this complex, Torre de Cristal, owned by Mutua Madrileña, stands out as the tallest building in Spain, featuring the most advanced construction and sustainability technologies.

Rising to a height of 250 meters, its profile emerges as a grand sculpture of carved glass, continuing the artistic sequence of the Prado-Castellana axis. The tower, with a total built area of 120,849 m², symbolizes the dynamism and optimism of a new Madrid, pushing the boundaries of traditional architecture. Its standout feature is the facade, designed as a “bioclimatic wall” with double glazing on the exterior and operable single glazing on the interior. Additionally, the vertical garden crowning the tower emphasizes the symbolic importance of the structure’s highest point, conveying the building’s ecological and sustainable aspirations. It has become a beacon in the city’s skyline.
