Valdebebas,

a newway to build

the city of Madrid

Valedebebas, a newway to build the city, is the most important urban

development in northern Madrid, with more than 10.600.000 m² of land.

Until now, residential offer has been driving the area and there are already

more than 14.000 people living here but, in less than five years, there

will be a lack of land for housing construction.

However, Valdebebas also has the greatest offer of space for the tertiary

sector in Madrid. More than 1.300.000 m² of land for new development,

under the name Valdebebas Fintech District, representing a unique

opportunity for real estate investors, especially foreign investors, and for

companies affected by Brexit, aswell as any businesswishing to establish

in a unique location that, according to all forecasts by theValdebebas Com-

pensation Board, willwitness its first tertiary projects over the coming year.

Valdebebas Fintech District, included in a large green space that borders

one of Madrid’s prime residential areas, is especially designed as a place

for new technologies, business and financial sectors to come together.

The site allocated for the tertiary sector is unique due to its size and

features, located in an area situated in one of Madrid’s prime zones and

with great future potential, including state of the art road infrastructures,

among which we highlight the bridge to T4 (under construction), with an

enviable technological infrastructure (dual-channel supply network to

accommodate the largest volume of data foreseen in the future).

Key location is the greatest competitive edge

Located in the north-eastern part of Madrid, Ciudad Aeroportuaria-Parque

Valdebebas is surrounded bymajor financial complexes, such as the neigh-

bouringParqueEmpresarialCampode lasNaciones, Sanchinarro,Avenidade

Burgos andAlcobendas, siteswhere there is alreadyagreat number of com-

panies andwhichoffer oneof the area’smostvaluedcharacteristics: location.

The unique and exclusive combination of urban development and

nature will enable investors and corporations to develop state of the

art, energy efficient buildings in a green space measuring more than

5.000.000 m², where the Forest Park stands out, a veritable green

lung that occupies approximately 470 hectares and results from the

concession of land by the Valdebebas owners. The park, in the shape

of a large tree, reproduces 10 types of woodlands, with more than

206.000 trees and 183.000 bushes. The Forest Park will end at the

Central Park, a large green space measuring more than 80 hectares,

which will connect the development to the Forest Park.

The 20 blocks of tertiary area are surrounded by a generous retail in-

frastructure, restaurants, schools and health facilities, and also include

a fully operational public transport network, with several bus lines that

connect the Fintech District to the Madrid city centre; the C1 line commuter

train station; the light rail that will connect Valdebebas with the metro

network, greatly increasing the transport capacity. Apart from the public

transport, fast and direct access to the centre of Madrid is guaranteed

by the main motorways (R2, M40, M12) and other high capacity roads

such as the M11. Furthermore, there are 27 kilometres of bicycle lanes

that connect with Madrid’s Anillo Verde cycling route.
