Torre Espacio is the name of a skyscraper in the Spanish capital, Madrid . With a height of 230 meters (236 meters to the top), the tower is one of the four tallest skyscrapers in Madrid. The building company OHL has its headquarters in the building, which was completed in 2008 . The building was designed by Henry N. Cobb and José Bruguera from Pei Cobb Freed & Partners .
The office tower is the seat of several embassies (Australia, Canada, United Kingdom).
On the night of September 5, 2006, a fire broke out on the 42nd floor of the tower, which was still under construction, but it was quickly extinguished and did not cause any structural damage to the building itself.
At the topping out ceremony in 2007, the Torre Espacio was the tallest building in Spain, but was surpassed by the Torre de Cristal shortly afterwards . Together with the Torre Caja Madrid and the Torre PwC , they form the Cuatro Torres Business Area . This new quarter replaced the AZCA banking and high-rise district as the most important skyscraper complex in the country.
