The Biomedical Research Park of Barcelona (PRBB) building located on the Barceloneta seafront between Hospital del Mar and the Arts Hotel in the Olympic Port of Barcelona is impressive, with avant-garde architecture and fitting perfectly into the environment. At 55,000m2 it is also one of the largest buildings in Barcelona.

The four seafront floors of the park building sweep landwards and upwards towards the city reaching a total height of nine storeys, as well as there being three underground levels and a ground floor. All are arranged in a horseshoe shape around the central courtyard. The wooden façade constructed of red cedar controls the sunlight and streamlines the structure. The PRBB is at 100% occupation and there is no space currently available for renting.
