In La Moraleja, one of Madrid's most exclusive northern enclaves, CANDO Living emerges as a residential complex that extends beyond the conventional apartment building. Set within a 20,000 m² plot surrounded by green space, the development integrates private residences with shared amenities and a resident community, creating a deliberate counter-movement to isolated urban living. This 297 m² apartment sits on the sixth floor, positioned within a carefully planned architecture that prioritises both privacy and connection to the natural landscape. The property comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms, designed to accommodate contemporary living patterns while maintaining the quietude afforded by the surrounding grounds. Large windows and considered orientation allow natural light to define the interior spaces.
La Moraleja is technically not Madrid — it sits in the municipality of Alcobendas, about 15 km north of the city via the A-1 motorway — but it functions as the international corporate family's default answer to "where do we live while our kids go to school in English?" The district is a collection of gated residential estates developed from the 1970s onward, with villas on 1,000–5,000 m² plots, private gardens, pools, and the highest concentration of English- and other foreign-language international schools in all of Spain (ICS, Runnymede, King's College, Brewster, Colegio Base, the Lycée Français Saint-Exupéry campus — all within 1 km of each other). It is suburban in the American sense, not the Spanish: you drive everywhere, the streets are leafy, and the social fabric runs through the school gates and the Club de Campo La Moraleja golf clubhouse.
