Headquarters
Company domicile of the Agbar Group:
Torre Agbar
Avenida Diagonal, 211
08018 Barcelona
The Agbar Group, in its 140 years of history,
has always known how to adapt itself to the times. Our new headquarters,
the Agbar Tower, respond to the need to organise our assets after the
continuous process of growth and diversification the Group has experienced
in the last few years, whilst achieving the objective of consolidating
the headquarters of our Group in the city of Barcelona.
In the words of our Chairman, Jordi Mercader:
"We change of building, but the content is the same. The external
effect is important, even the architectural decoration produces a singular
change, which also means not only that we will change but we have already
changed, for the necessary adaptation to the circumstances surrounding
us. But the essential thing of the business culture, of the characteristics
of our company, the way of being, the way of thinking, the objectives
and the corporate definition of our organisation remain the same".
The Agbar Tower is a singular and unique building -both for its conceptual
design
and the integration of the sustainability values of bioclimatic architecture-
which
aims to highlight the company’s vocation of vanguard and its
identification with
the city where it started its activities.

Before the Agbar Tower, the Group had its headquarters for more than 85 years
in the Palacete del Marqués de Santa Isabel. To remember its determinant role
in the history of the Agbar Group, you have available the
special
issue of the
Group’s house journal,
Info Agbar, which was dedicated to this charismatic building.
