Talent Garden bets on Barcelona market.

The company of flexible spaces will open a new space in the 22 @ technological district of 4,500 square meters and with a capacity of 332 seats.

The Italian coworking company plans to open its new flexible work center in the 22 @ technology district in May this year. The space will have 4,500 square meters of surface and has involved an investment of about two million euros, as confirmed by the top leader of its Spanish arm, Isabel Salazar.

The property, still under construction, is located at number 169 of Ramón Turro street. Talent Garden will share a building with the Acta Hotels hotel chain and will occupy the entire office space of the property. The new center will be able to accommodate up to 332 workers and by the year of its inauguration, Talent Garden hopes to achieve a 70% occupancy.

Salazar has pointed out the difficulty of opening a center in Barcelona due to the lack of available land in the city, which is currently at 2%. The company expects to fill its new center with start-ups of a maximum of 25 employees and freelancers linked to the technology industry, very present in the Catalan capital.

Salazar has assured that by 2023 he plans to open five coworking centers in Spain and be able to reach other locations such as Malaga, Valencia or Bilbao. For each center the company will invest between 1.5 and 2.5 million euros.

The new center that will open in May adds to what the company already has in Barcelona, ​​located in the Sarria-Sant Gervasi district, which opened in 2019. In addition, the company owns another 4,700 square meter center in Madrid that offers 340 Coworking places and hopes to reach full occupancy during 2020.

The expansion in Spain is part of the company's international strategy, which plans to open its first flexible workspace in France during 2021. The objective of Talaent Garden is to enter secondary cities such as Marseille, Bordeaux or Lyon.

Founded in 2011, Talent Garden closed a second round of financing in early 2019 with which it captured 44 million euros to continue its international expansion. Currently, the Italian company is present in eight countries and 26 cities in Europe.
