About the place

Architect Minoru Yamasaki designed Torre Picasso for the AZCA commercial complex along Paseo de la Castellana.

Minoru Yamasaki planned the tower alongside Jorge Mir Valls and Rafael Coll Pujol as part of the northern expansion zone of AZCA. Building stalled during early phases until Portland Valderrivas and Inmobiliaria Ason took over the project under architect Fernando Alas. Pontegadea Inmobiliaria, the investment branch of Industria de Diseno Textil, later acquired the property, which PER Gestora Inmobiliaria maintains.

The skyscraper once stood as the tallest commercial building in the capital, surpassing Torre de Madrid before newer high-rises including Torre Espacio and Torre de Cristal overtook it. The structure adjoins Pablo Picasso Square along Paseo de la Castellana, sharing the business district with Torre Europa, Banco de Bilbao Tower, and Torre Titania. Living nearby means immediate office access amid corporate concrete plazas.
