Diagonal 197: The Office Building That Connects Your Company with Success
The physical work environment has always played a key role in a company’s success. After all, its location, connectivity, technological features, spatial design and, ultimately, its essence, have a major impact on essential aspects such as brand reputation, talent attraction, employee well-being, and overall productivity. At Colonial, we are fully aware of this—which is why we offer your company a unique office building that connects it with both the present and the future. That building is Diagonal 197, and in this article, we’ll tell you what makes it so special.
Connected to the City
We live in an era where work-life balance is increasingly important. Employees especially value environments that help them better manage their responsibilities and day-to-day well-being. In this regard, Diagonal 197 ticks all the boxes. It’s located in one of the most dynamic areas of Barcelona—a neighborhood that not only boasts excellent public transport links but also offers a wide range of services: numerous dining options, gyms, theaters and museums, shops, hotels, and two major shopping centers that meet a variety of personal needs.
Connected to People
Designing buildings with a human-centric approach is more than an ethical choice—it’s a competitive advantage for the companies that occupy them, because it’s what employees are increasingly asking for. And Diagonal 197 embodies this vision. Among other features, it offers changing rooms, showers, micromobility parking, electric vehicle chargers, and biophilic design that enhances well-being. For companies operating in a space like this, the chances of attracting and retaining top-tier talent increase significantly.
Connected to the Planet
Green will be the defining color of the job market in the coming decades. The green of nature. Of sustainability. Of a genuine concern for the environment. Diagonal 197, like all our assets, has been refurbished to deliver a premium experience with the smallest possible ecological footprint. It features a districlima energy management system, a smart sprinkler network, self-regulating LED lighting, and screen blinds that optimize natural light. That’s why the building holds a BREEAM certification, confirming its high environmental sustainability standards.
