The opening of the Apple Store at La Vaguada Shopping Center in Madrid in November 2024 marked a major milestone: it was Apple’s first new store in Spain in over a decade. Located in one of Madrid’s most iconic retail destinations, this new store further strengthens the brand’s presence in the capital. For the technical execution of the project, FLULLE played a key role as the main subcontractor, working closely with the awarded contractor, EMPTY.
The project was carried out at Apple’s premises located on Avenida Monforte de Lemos 36. FLULLE was responsible for executing all mechanical and plumbing installations, as well as integrating several technical modifications throughout the course of the project. Key tasks included HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), fire protection systems (sprinklers, BIE valves, fire shields), and the building management system (BMS – Bacnet). In addition, structural and functional upgrades labeled COR47 and COR56 were also implemented.
The works took place between December 2022 and October 2024. The construction schedule was broken down into specific phases for each system, with defined milestones and partial handovers along the way, and concluded with the full legalisation of all installations, commissioning, and final delivery to the client.
This project also stood out for its strong focus on sustainability and wellness. In line with WELL v2 standards, indoor air quality testing was carried out, including PM2.5 and PM10 particle measurement, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, ozone, and radon gas. These tests were part of Apple’s commitment to creating healthy, safe, and sustainable spaces.
The store’s design, led by Apple, included demanding criteria for universal accessibility and sustainable materials. FLULLE responded to these requirements with technical solutions and flawless execution that met the highest standards. During the project, numerous change orders were issued, requiring strong adaptability and responsiveness from the technical team, who managed scope changes and budget adjustments in real time—without compromising on deadlines or outcomes.
Thanks to this project, FLULLE reinforces its position as a trusted technical partner in premium retail environments. Its experience, flexibility, and commitment were key to ensuring a seamless delivery in an environment as demanding as Apple’s.
This collaboration clearly demonstrates FLULLE’s ability to take on complex projects, meet international quality standards, and deliver effective, agile technical solutions that are fully aligned with the client’s values.
