Isozaki Atea

The Isozaki Atea, also known as the Isozaki Gate, are the tallest residential buildings in Bilbao and in the entire Basque region. Designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki, the two 83-meter towers, each with 23 floors, rise above the city. The lower two floors are used for mixed commercial purposes, while the remaining levels serve as living space. Part of a complex of five buildings, the development acts as an urban gateway to the Ensanche district. A staircase between the towers leading to Ercilla Street provides a direct walking route to the Zubizuri Bridge over the Nervión River, making the spot a central connecting point.
