MEETING LOCATION

Santander Group City (Boadilla del Monte, Madrid)

Santander Group City, inaugurated in 2004, is one of Europe’s most advanced and innovative corporate campuses. Spanning 250 hectares with over 500,000 m² of built space, it brings together work, services, and nature in a single, integrated environment.

Designed by renowned architect Kevin Roche, the campus is organized into three main areas:

  • Office Area: Eight symmetrical buildings plus a central circular headquarters (Pereda), combining functionality, natural light, and energy efficiency.
  • Services Area: Includes restaurants, sports facilities, medical center, childcare, and employee services—creating a fully self-sufficient workplace.
  • Logistics & Training Area: Home to the training center, event spaces, and accommodation facilities.

A key feature is its strong commitment to sustainability:

  • Over 10,000 solar panels (with plans for 21,000)
  • 99% waste recovery (“Zero Waste” certified)
  • Use of recycled water across the campus
  • Green roofs and extensive vegetation improving energy efficiency

Nature plays a central role, with 24,000 trees, including one of Spain’s most important collections of ancient olive trees (some over 1,000 years old), alongside lakes, forests, and a golf course.

The campus also integrates art and culture, featuring sculptures by internationally renowned artists and an art gallery with works by masters such as El Greco.

Santander Financial City reflects the Group’s values —Simple, Personal, Fair— by creating a sustainable, people-focused environment that combines innovation, wellbeing, and efficiency.
