The Manzanares River is a symbol of Madrid that, thanks toan ambitious and intelligentinvestment, has been revived and reintegrated into the cityscape. As a result, a challenge attempted for centuries by kings, engineers and national and international urban planners, has finally been realized and transformed the área into an essential urban infrastructure, a green-belt that shines in the city centre and the veritable backbone of the capital of Spain.

It is in this urban context that a landmark project which serves as a reference for the future is presented. The area combines ecology and sustainability with know-how, dynamism and an innovative culture, defining transformational methodologies for business in the 21st century. The area symbolizes quality, competitiveness and connectivity and allows new forms of social relationships between companies, neighbours, users, professionals and the city. We present Madrid Río.

Any good story has its origins in the past… Strong symbols are the fresh water running through the River Manzanares from where legends have sailed, the historic Bridges – such as the Segovia Bridge or the Toledo Bridge – that define the river´s limits, and the Palaces which are as Royal as they are spectacular. Moving forwards in time, the ring-road whose car lights create a blur of starry nights, novelists that transcend generations, and flea markets full of life. The area is replete with imperial promenades full of melancholy, iconic stations, industrial landscapes, factories with towering chimneys and stadiums that house unforgettable football matches. All of this results, imbues and surrounds what is currently known as Madrid Río, the new technological centre in Madrid.
