Centro Canalejas - Four Seasons Hotel Madrid

This was a vast remodeling project in the heart of Madrid's historic center, with 8,000 meters of rehabilitated facades, more than 100,000 square meters of construction and over 17,000 items rehabilitated, restored and reinstalled across several renovated buildings, which have been re-conceptualized over seven years by the architecture firm, Estudio Lamela.

On behalf of the OHL Group, Arcadis carried out an independent assessment of the works, analyzing the project's management system and its social, economic and environmental impact over seven years. We monitored a project that involved the partial demolition of listed buildings, and in which constant modifications had to be made on the fly to overcome numerous technical difficulties and to adapt to changes and new requirements introduced by the Madrid city council.

We were also responsible for selecting local alternatives and purchasing the furniture, accessories and equipment during the pilot room phase. We secured exceptional quality at local supplier prices, thus significantly reducing the expected investment in furniture and decreasing the project's carbon footprint by minimizing transportation.

Arcadis has been instrumental in a world-class project, in which more than 500 million euros was invested to build one of the world's best hotels and an exclusive shopping center in a unique space in Madrid that will attract quality tourism to the city.
