SBC® Centers – About Us
Our History
- SBC® Centers
SBC® was founded in Barcelona in 2006 with its first 460 m2 business center in the Lesseps neighborhood of Barcelona, driven by great enthusiasm and the vision of developing a unique business concept centered on exceptional service. From the very beginning, we were clear about the cornerstones on which our entire project would be built: comfort, technology, and exceptional service for our clients.
After all this time, we can say that the SBC® concept was a success, as evidenced by the opening of 7 business centers in Barcelona and 2 in Madrid.
Leadership in service delivery is reserved for those companies that are able to offer excellent service at a truly competitive price and maintain this balance over time. As the years go by, we remain as determined as we were when we first started, improving day by day, and drawing extra strength from the growing number of customers who place their trust in us.
- Continuous development
- In November 2006, we opened our first business center, SBC Lesseps, with 24 offices and 2 meeting rooms.
- In 2011, we opened our second center, SBC Tarradellas, which spans 1,000 m², has 40 offices, and features 4 meeting rooms.
- In June 2012, we opened SBC Diagonal-Trade, an exclusive business center with 14 private offices, located on the 10th floor of Barcelona’s iconic TRADE office complex.
- In January 2013, SBC Tarradellas expanded with two additional floors and an extra 1,000 m², increasing the number of offices available to our clients in this same building from 40 to 80.
- In January 2015, we opened SBC Universitat, our fourth business center in Barcelona, located 150 meters from Plaza de Cataluña, in the city center.
- In June 2016, we launched SBC Beethoven, located at the corner of this street and Bori Fontesta—a prestigious residential area with very few office spaces available, which is why it was so well received by our clients.
- In October 2017, we expanded SBC Universitat with a new floor. Specifically, the penthouse, which features 15 new offices, some of which have private terraces and spectacular views stretching from Collserola to the sea.
- In September 2020, we opened our sixth Business Center. SBC Diagonal-Tuset marks the culmination of a long-cherished ambition of our business group to establish a presence in the Diagonal-Tuset area, an economic district of particular interest to a range of small and medium-sized service companies that prefer to occupy a highly sought-after location in Barcelona.
- In July 2022, we opened the seventh SBC Business Center in Barcelona. It is called SBC Aribau. It’s located less than 400 meters from Plaza Francesc Macia, on the corner of Travesera de Gracia and Aribau. An SBC Center that has shown great promise right from the moment it opened.
- In November 2024, we opened our eighth SBC Center, this time in Madrid. We were eager to establish a presence in Spain’s capital, and we’ve done so with SBC Madrid Centro in the Palacios neighborhood—part of which is also known as Madrid de los Austrias. It’s a bustling area with a lot of commercial and business activity. It’s located near the Almudena Cathedral, on the corner of Calle Mayor.
- In June 2026, we opened SBC Villa El Viso, our second business center in Madrid, located in the most exclusive neighborhood of the Chamartín district. This Business Center is truly one-of-a-kind, as it is located in a villa surrounded by gardens, trees, and lawns—a natural setting that makes daily work a pleasure by providing peace and tranquility just a few meters from Paseo de la Castellana.
- With more than 250 offices, nearly 2,000 clients—including office users and registered companies—and a well-established business model, the time has come to expand into other cities.
- Leading the Way Today
Today, SBC® is the largest Spanish group of business centers in Barcelona and Madrid and is also the national leader in terms of revenue and number of clients.
Our clients’ trust and the solid progress made in the SBC®project reaffirm SBC®’sexpansion plan, which calls for the upcoming opening of new centers in the cities of Valencia, Bilbao, and Seville, before moving on to international projects.
What are the advantages of SBC® compared to other business centers?
- Comfort and Well-Being
At SBC®, we know that a business center is much more than just a rental office where you can set up your company. At SBC®, you’ll immediately experience exceptional service where professionalism, trust, and a commitment to our clients are essential. We’re fully aware of our role in your organization—we represent your company’s image. We’re committed to making an excellent impression on you and your visitors.

At SBC®, there are no mandatory contract terms. It’s that simple and that easy. If an SBC®customer is not satisfied with the services received, they can terminate their contract at any time with just two months’ notice. That’s how our exclusive Flexible Service Agreement works.
- Facilities at Your Disposal
Our concept of a business center differs greatly from the traditional model. Our clients know that at SBC® Centers, they not only enjoy their own private and exclusive office, but also have access to SBC®facilities— including meeting rooms, office areas, the lobby, the terrace, equipment, and more. At SBC®, you don’t just rent an office—you become a full-fledged SBC®member. We provide the comprehensive, low-cost services your company needs.
- Experience
SBC®is an ambitious project dedicated to business centers and workspaces for companies and professionals. Throughout our history, we have always been driven by a desire to improve, innovate, and meet our clients’ expectations. As a result of these efforts, our established projects have enjoyed a reputation for prestige and credibility among our clients for more than fifteen years.
The promoters of this project have extensive experience in the management and administration of service companies at both the national and international levels. This background has shaped the objectives established for the SBC®project, which seeks excellence in service through a methodology based on continuous improvement processes and feedback provided by our own customers.
- Management
Thanks to this constantly evolving experience, we have developed a comprehensive and innovative management model that optimizes the use of SBC®resources. This model ensures that the processes necessary for the smooth operation of our Centers are carried out virtually automatically, allowing us to provide better service to our customers while minimizing operating costs and delivering high-quality services at competitive prices.
Companies are increasingly demanding greater efficiency, transparency, and competitiveness from us, and these demanding requirements can only be met through efficient technology management and automated management processes. In other words, the integration of management and ICT.
- Innovation
We base our innovation on an understanding of our clients’ expectations and an analysis of our partners’ solutions. Sometimes we adapt existing solutions, and at other times we implement custom solutions to optimize resources, increase efficiency, and meet those expectations.
Every industry has its own unique characteristics, and of course, every company has its own distinctive features. This fact serves as an incentive to improve every day, as it requires us to have access to the most cutting-edge technology and solutions at all times.
- Services
The way we at SBC®provide office and meeting room rental services and corporate domiciliation is the result of combining our corporate culture—based on comfort, technology, and exceptional service—with our model of management, innovation, and development.
We are confident that you will be satisfied with the benefits we offer, and please remember that we always welcome your suggestions with great interest. We look forward to showing you our facilities, explaining our methodology in detail, and having the opportunity to be the right choice to meet your needs.
Decision-Making Factors for Our Clients
- Our Customers' Preferences
Any potential client, as part of their decision-making process, conducts an analysis that may be more or less in-depth. Setting aside other considerations, at SBC®we have studied the specific circumstances that were decisive in our clients’ decision to choose SBC®over other options.
The results, ranked according to our customers’ preferences, are revealing:
- Comfortable, well-equipped facilities in a professional setting.
- State-of-the-art technology services.
- Exquisite, warm, and professional service. This is something we’ve taken great care to cultivate in our day-to-day operations, and it ultimately comes across as a mark of exclusivity.
