TORRE IBERDROLA
Location and Communications Torre Iberdrola is located in Plaza de Euskadi, and is part of the new Abandoibarra district, which is the symbolic source of Bilbao’s regeneration and a new cultural and business focal point. The Tower will be the main component of the development, making it the new financial and business hub in Bilbao. Torre Iberdrola has excellent transport links thanks to it only taking 15 minutes to reach the airport via the Artxanda tunnels. Access to the property via the highway is easy and fast using the BI-631 and BI-3704. The Tower is also located only a short distance from the Abandoibarra and Guggenheim tram stops, the Moyua Metro station and various urban bus lines (1,10,11,13,18,71), which means that this strategic area has some of the best transport links in Bilbao.Torre Iberdrola se ubica en la Plaza de Euskadi, incluida dentro del nuevo desarrollo de Abandoibarra, símbolo actual de la transformación de Bilbao y nuevo foco cultural y de negocios.
Elegant and Sustainable This is how the prestigious architect Cesar Pelli describes Torre Iberdrola. At 165 metres high, 41 floors, 485 parking spaces and 50,000 sqm of above ground space, Torre Iberdrola has an eye-catching design in the form of a triangular prism with gently tapering curves reaching up towards the sky, not unlike a great glass obelisk. The façades, comprising a double glass casing, offer a sustainable solution, efficient climatic control and view across much of the city and the River. The use of extra-clear glass optimises the external view for the occupants. These “bioclimaticâ€? walls have a double-glazed outer layer and a single-glazed inner layer, which can be opened and closed. Self-adjusting blinds are located in the resulting wall chamber. Interior light levels and air conditioning are automatically controlled depending on the exterior conditions, resulting in improved energy efficiency.
The large main entrance, with a clear height of 10 m at its highest point, is enclosed in sculptured glazing making it attractive during the day and resplendent and warm at night. Its interior also features a large garden area. This lobby is imposing but at the same time simple and elegant.

Crest: elevation of 165 ms The Iberdrola Tower roof encloses a unique and standout building on the skyline of the Biscay capital. This privileged location provides a unique panoramic view of the city.The volumetrics, in the form of a triangular prism with curved surfaces, slightly tapering towards the sky, give the shape to the large glass obelisk of Bilbao.
High quality materials Highest quality materials have been used for the Iberdrola Tower, including both common areas and private areas for future tenants. Natural maple has been used for the main entrance access, walls and ceilings, with the floors standing out as they are in travertine marble. Travertine marble has been used for the elevator lobby floors, whilst the Montsegur limestone has been used for the walls with stainless steel crowning. The building’s lighting shall consist of lighting apparatus Built into a ceiling designed with decorative items. The marble vertical surfaces and floors stand out, whilst the ceilings consist of pladur and metal inspection covers in areas crossed through by installations. Office floors have been painted with a special dust proof pain. There are also false ceilings and technical floors to guarantee complete floor functional flexibility. The false ceiling, with 60 cm of clearance to the top slab, is drilled metal tray type with both the light fittings and other installations built in. The technical, modular floor – which can be inspected, with 20 cm under-floor space, is fire resistant anhydrite.
Sustainability
Eficient air conditioning and energy saving
Torre Iberdrola, with its commitment to the environment, will be the first Tower of its kind in the country to achieve the maximum qualification under the prestigious LEED CS 2.0 system (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Issued by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), the LEED Sustainable Building Classification System is an international voluntary standard system that assesses and awards those buildings with the greatest respect for the environment, making them healthier, more environmentally responsible and more cost effective structures.
The HVAC system has been designed to optimize efficiency, flexibility and comfort for users. This is achieved as a result of the high supply of outside air renewal for ventilation and the synergy with the architecture Of the tower itself by means of active facade ventilation. On each floor, the air conditioning is distributed via a large number of independent units (VRV) whereby it is possible to achieve different temperatures at different points on a floor, as well as obtain significant energy savings. Units can also be switched of in areas not used very often.
It is difficult to chose which of their projects is better than the other. However, we cannot forget some of their most recognisable buildings, such as the Petronas Towers in
Kuala Lumpur, the World Financial Center in New York or the International Finance Center in Hong Kong. Pelli is remarkable for the elegance and sobriety of his lines and for the way he combines glass with stone or metal in his buildings. His work as an architect encompasses over 80 projects which he says have no particular signature style, as he prefers to adapt his projects to their surroundings and to the way people live in and perceive the area at hand.
