MADRID l Chamartín financial area l 2011-2023

zazo, · November 5th, 2009, 10:04 PM

The new financial district of the north: Chamartín, has been aproved today.
Works will start in 2011, buildings in 2012, and the quartier will be finished in 12 years
At least 4 of the 20 new skyscrapers will be around 300-350 metres, the area will also host 50.000 inhabitants and 90.000 financial workers.

Más grande:
possibly the two tallest buildings of the city:

A bit bigger, the north skyline

And the new dense area around the central park of the north

The area :

You can sort of see my university in the north in the last pic!

Those 4 towers are arguably one of the most elegant towers on this planet. I'm glad more is coming.

PS: What is being built directly east of the 4 towers?

Isn't Chamartin going to be Spain's main HSR hub? Great idea to develop the surrounding area. Will the station get a renovation too?

Not main, just the biggest financial district of Madrid city and metropolitan area, Barcelona has a huge area, Valencia, Bilbao, etc.. Madrid one will be the biggest, but not the main

Fantastic for Madrid . Madrid will become a skyscraper focal point worldwide once this is completed . It will also be a fantastic entry point for people arriving to Chamartin train station from Zaragoza or Barcelona . This is very much needed around that area .

Madrid has been rulling in modern architecture. There's many contemporary pearls around the city that have been built in the last years.

Madrid is definitely standing out in the Peninsula.

He´s asking is Chamartin train station is gonna become the main hub in for High Speed Trains.

As far as i know Chamartin in the north and Atocha in the South are gonna be both sharing the main hubs status for the HSR network in Spain, being right now Atocha still the largest one by far.

And answering city_thing´s second question: The current Chamartin station isn´t gonna be renovated, but a brand new Chamartin station is gonna be where the present one is or close to it.

Ideally Atocha will take all the HSR from the East and South, and Chamartin will take the trains from and for the North and west.
