Banco Popular headquarters, Madrid, Corporate headquarters building in Hortaleza district, Madrid, Spain

Edificio Abelias is the former main headquarters and data processing centre of Banco Popular Español in Madrid. It has 22,600 m² above ground and 31,500 m² below, arranged over six office floors, a ground floor and three parking levels. The office facade is modular, with a maintenance walkway and a double skin of ceramic tubes, while the spine area has a suspended facade. Post-tensioned 30 cm slabs span 13 by 7.80 m between columns, leaving open office floors.

The Edificio Abelias served as the main headquarters of Banco Popular Español and housed its data processing centre. The building provides 22,600 m² above ground and 31,500 m² below ground across six floors, a ground floor and three parking levels. In 2013 it received LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council.

The architectural firm Ayala designed the structure with emphasis on modular office spaces and efficient circulation through longitudinal connecting channels.

The building is a working office and data-processing site, not open for guided tours; visitors see it from the street. It lies in the Palomas area of Hortaleza, near the Nuevos Ministerios transport hub, a few minutes' walk from its metro and commuter rail stops. Three of its levels are garages, so parking is internal and not meant for sightseeing stops.

The facade features ceramic tube latticework applied to aluminum panels, creating a fine textile-like pattern across the exterior. This handcraft-inspired detail gives the modern office building an unexpected visual warmth rarely seen in corporate complexes.
