Glenwell Group has unveiled a new visual identity and global website.
The rebranding project is part of the company’s strategy to become a leading global real estate company.

The new logotype highlights the concepts of added value, dynamism and transformation, three of the terms that, together with innovation, better describe our approach to projects.

Our new claim TRANSFORMING REAL ESTATE embodies our main purpose as a group: leading, through our brands, the transformation of the real estate sector, championing innovation and technology, anticipating the demands arising from the new paradigms of life, leisure and work and providing new solutions for the always evolving needs of people and urban life.

Likewise, the new website has been thoroughly designed to provide visitors with a comprehensive overview of Glenwell Group and its brands, improving functionality, and quick access to essential information to help clients make well-informed decisions about the Group.

Last December, the Barcelona team of the Glenwell Group moved to the Torre Glòries, one of the most emblematic skyscrapers in the city and the flagship building in the [email protected] District, the business, technological and cultural hub in which it is located.

The Glòries Tower, designed in 2005 by Jean Nouvel, is 142 meters high with 37,614 square meters of gross leasable area. The presence of high-level technology companies such as Competence Call Center (Facebook), Oracle and Dynatrace, among others, have turned it into a cluster of technological innovation.

The decision to operate from [email protected] is in line with the group’s strategy of being part of a global innovation hub and locating itself at the heart of where the most important real estate operations in the city are taking place.

Yahoo! R&D, Microsoft, Mediapro, Groupalia, Capgemini and Indra also chose [email protected] and, in 2018, Regus, Hewlett Packard, Criteo, Eurecat, Cuatrecasas and Amazon joined the growing number of major companies that have established operations in [email protected]

The purchase of 330 Grays Inn Road, currently occupied by the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital, is in line with Glenwell Group’s strategy of acquiring well-located central London sites with major development potential. 

The 1.5 acre freehold site in the heart of King’s Cross, acquired from The Royal Free Charity, will accommodate a high-quality, mixed-use scheme while substantially improving the neighbouring ‘King’s Cross Central’ urban regeneration plan, which, when completed, will accommodate circa 4m sq. ft. of commercial space, over 2,000 new homes, and has been chosen by major global companies such as Google, YouTube and Louis Vuitton as the location of their UK headquarters. 

Additionally, the site is located within the ‘Knowledge Quarter’, a world-renowned cluster of over 85 cultural, research, scientific, business and academic institutions.
