  • THE ENVIRONMENT

    The Talent House building is in one of the most privileged areas of San Sebastian, in the Aiete neighbourhood, from where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the famous Concha Bay.

    Aiete is a very quiet residential neighbourhood where housing is spaced far apart, making the neighbourhood an extensive and very green space.

    The location of Talent House is ideal, due to the tranquillity of the neighbourhood, which has a residential character and is well communicated, as well as being well located, with easy access to the city centre and the beaches via a pleasant stroll or by city bus. In the surrounding area there are green areas and within walking distance is the Miramar Palace, a regular venue for congresses and conferences, and the Aiete Park itself, with cultural facilities for all ages.

    The Talent House building is close to the Miramón Technology Park, one of the city's main business parks, specialising in R&D&I Centres. The building is also well connected to the other R&D&I reference point, the Ibaeta campus.
