Madrid is experiencing a pivotal moment in its consolidation as one of Europe’s most attractive capitals for luxury real estate investment. In recent years, international interest in prime residential property within the city’s historic centre has grown steadily, driven by an exceptional quality of life, a rich architectural heritage and strong long-term value prospects.
This trend has recently been highlighted by the Financial Times, which places Madrid among Europe’s most dynamic prime residential markets. Within this context, Casa Lamar stands out as one of the most representative projects of the new era of urban luxury in the Spanish capital.
Located at Cedaceros 9, in the historic Barrio de las Letras, Casa Lamar is the comprehensive redevelopment of a former office building into 22 luxury residences. The project features interiors designed by Patricia Urquiola, one of the world’s most renowned interior designers, with residences priced from €2.3 million, and architecture by Touza Arquitectos.
The homes combine contemporary architecture, high-quality materials and a deep respect for their historic surroundings, responding to the growing demand from discerning buyers seeking exclusive properties in Madrid’s most established central locations.
Casa Lamar is set within one of Madrid’s most culturally significant neighbourhoods. The Barrio de las Letras is home to historic businesses and long-standing institutions that form part of the city’s identity, such as Lhardy, founded in 1839, and Camisería Burgos, established in 1906.
Developments such as Casa Lamar help bring new residents back to the city centre, supporting local economic activity and reinforcing the character of historic districts that are an essential part of Madrid’s urban DNA.
At the heart of one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals, the Barrio de las Letras represents a perfect balance between heritage and evolution. Its streets, steeped in history, continue to host an authentic urban lifestyle where centuries-old businesses, distinctive architecture and a dynamic cultural energy coexist.
Historic landmarks such as Lhardy and Camisería Burgos are part of an urban fabric that not only deserves preservation, but also a contemporary way of living that respects its essence. In this setting, Casa Lamar introduces a modern vision of luxury residential living—attracting residents who are engaged with their surroundings, revitalising historic buildings and contributing to the cultural and economic vitality of central Madrid.
A natural evolution for a city that today is firmly established as one of Europe’s leading prime real estate capitals, able to look to the future without losing its identity.
More than a residential development, Casa Lamar has been conceived as a curated residential platform for those seeking more than a home: a sense of belonging, wellbeing and legacy.
The project integrates over 1,000 sqm of hotel-inspired amenities and services, designed as a natural extension of the architecture and created to balance private living with a strong sense of community in the very centre of the capital.
Casa Lamar offers a fully integrated residential experience, comparable to a five-star urban resort, with spaces designed to enhance everyday wellbeing:
The social dimension of the project is articulated through:
All of this is complemented by a landscaped interior courtyard, bringing natural light and tranquillity into the heart of the city.
Casa Lamar incorporates tailored home and lifestyle management services, including property maintenance, bill management, concierge services, travel arrangements and private chef services. Every detail is designed to deliver a seamless, exclusive and effortless residential experience.
The building also features a private garage with direct access, enhancing comfort, privacy and security for residents.
