Isozaki Atea is a residential complex in Bilbao. Arata Isozaki and Iñaki Aurrekoetxea designed it, and Fincas Abando was main contractor. Construction began in 2004 and finished in 2008. The article names no client, style or materials.
The tallest tower roofs at 272 feet (83 m). The infobox gives 22 floors including four basements, while the text says 23, and the sources conflict. Six lifts serve it. The first two floors are mixed commercial and the rest are homes. The article calls the towers the tallest residential buildings in Bilbao and the Basque Country.
It is part of a five-building complex. The name Atea means gate in Basque, and the complex is meant as an entrance to the Ensanche district from across the Nervión river. A footway joins the stair between the towers to the Zubizuri footbridge, and the staircase leads to Ercilla Street.
