GBS Finance, the investment bank, has relocated its headquarters in Madrid and is now located in Velázquez 86d, owned by Colonial. This lease and relocation operation has been advised by Savills. The company has acquired 1,200 square metres in this office building, which is located in Madrid's Salamanca district.
The property has been completely refurbished and is now in the new prime executive category, which offers collaborative and flexible spaces. In addition to its innovative design, the building stands out for its exclusivity, technology and sustainability. It also features value-added communal areas and a terrace with panoramic views of Madrid. It is LEED Platinum certified and uses the ED-i technology platform to optimise space efficiency and energy consumption.
"The relocation of the company's headquarters to Velázquez 86d is a reflection of the company's evolution and commitment to our employees. It is an innovative space that adapts to the new ways of working, in which creativity and collaboration between professionals are becoming more and more important, and which has all the services and amenities necessary to ensure their maximum wellbeing. After thirty years in what has been our historic headquarters, this change represents a modernisation of our way of working and reaffirms our commitment to Madrid as a hub for a global investment banking business, with a consolidated presence in Latin America and China," says Pablo Gómez de Pablos, Managing Partner of GBS Finance.
After its launch in the midst of the pandemic, Velázquez 86d has managed to complete its leasing process. This real estate asset has responded to new business demands by focusing on people, modern ways of working and the implementation of cutting-edge technology. The building has a total extension of 16,318 square metres, distributed over seven floors, and houses prominent tenants such as AON, Sagardoy Abogados, Bain and White&Case.
