As part of its ongoing growth strategy, BDO Abogados is strengthening its presence in Barcelona through the expansion of its offices at Via Augusta 254 in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, a property owned by Reale Immobili. The firm has leased the entire fourth floor of the building, increasing its current office footprint in the city. The transaction was advised by Cushman & Wakefield.
This move enables BDO Abogados to expand its existing workspace in an environment that meets its operational requirements and supports its business growth, while also enhancing its ability to attract and retain talent.
The building, comprising approximately 11,000 sq m, forms part of a mixed-use complex that combines office space with retail and food & beverage offerings on the ground floor. BDO Abogados has leased a fully open-plan space distinguished by its efficiency and flexibility, as the floorplate is completely column-free.
Located in one of the most established and prestigious areas of the upper part of Barcelona, the building is considered one of the most iconic assets along this corridor, both for its architectural features and its excellent connectivity with the rest of the city. The property is currently 100% occupied and has historically experienced very low tenant turnover, reflecting the strong performance of the area and, in particular, the limited availability of office buildings in Barcelona’s upper district offering floorplates of more than 1,000 sq m.
Natalia Tost, Partner, Office Agency at Cushman & Wakefield, commented: “This transaction takes place in a context where the availability of high-quality office space in Barcelona’s prime locations remains limited, increasing competition among companies seeking strategic business environments. In this regard, the deal highlights the strong commitment of leading professional services firms to established CBD locations and top-tier office buildings.”
Julián Morales, Real Estate Director at Reale Immobili Spain, added: “As owners of the Via Augusta 254 building, we are delighted to welcome BDO Abogados, one of Spain’s most recognised and well-established professional services firms. Their presence further strengthens the building’s position as a landmark office destination in Barcelona’s upper district and sets a clear direction for our asset management strategy in the years ahead.”
