Torre Banco de Vizcaya, Corporate tower in Gran Vía D. Diego López de Haro, Bilbao, Spain
Torre Banco de Vizcaya is a 21-story office tower about 88 meters tall on Gran Via D. Diego Lopez de Haro. Its glass curtain wall design creates shifting reflections that change throughout the day.
Completed in April 1969 as Torre Banco de Vizcaya, this structure held the title of Bilbao's tallest building for several decades. It remained the highest point in the city until 2009.
The building shifted from a banking headquarters to a hub for entrepreneurship, now hosting financial institutions alongside emerging technology companies. This transformation reflects Bilbao's economic evolution.
The building sits next to Abando Metro station, making it easy to reach various neighborhoods in Bilbao and surrounding towns. The location offers convenient transportation links throughout the city.
During a 2021 renovation, workers replaced over a thousand windows and restored the original pink tone of the facade. This effort preserved the building's distinctive character.
