1 December 2017 – Eje Prime

Núñez i Navarro is strengthening its commitment to the office sector. On Thursday, the real estate developer presented a new office project in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona). The building in question is the Marina Factory, whose remodelling is going to involve an investment of €4.2 million.

The work on the property will be completed in March next year, after 19 months. The asset, located at number 450 Rambla Marina, has six floors measuring 1,200 m2 and 1,430 m2 and two retail premises. In total, it has capacity to house 1,000 people throughout its 10,000 m2.

The Marina Factory is located in an up-and-coming area of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat. The boost from Plaza Europa, which is two kilometres away from the office, has converted the area into a first-rate office district, with companies such as the perfume group Puig, the consultancy firm KPMG and the group Gallina Blanca choosing to locate there.

Núñez i Navarro is one of the largest Catalan property developers and one of the companies in the sector that has best overcome the crisis, with a policy of low indebtedness.

Gallina Blanca to Move to New Headquarters at Plaza Europa Square in Barcelona

10/10/2014 – Expansion

Gallina Blanca Star (GBST) packs its things up. In the Christmas time, the firm controlled by Avecrem will move to its new premises of 5.000 square meters situated at the Plaza Europa de L’Hospitalet square, Barcelona.

Gallina Blanca is said to have signed a rental contract with Sareb, the bad bank of Spain, on a 5-storey building located between the Hotel Renaissance and the skyscraper of perfumery group Puig.

The property is entirely glazed and hosted no tenant before. It was developed by real estate firm Procam in which Catalunya Banc had a share. The asset fell into hands of Sareb during the entity’s restructuring process.

The building will house the general headquarters of Gallina Blanca Star, presided by Artur Carulla and led by Ignasi Ricou, as well as a gastronomic center and a gym for employees.

At the moment, the firm occupies the 15th, 16th and 17th floors and a part of the ground floor of the Torre Realia skyscraper designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito. In 2009, Gallina Blanca entered the building as the first tenant, soon joined by KPMG.
