Som Multiespai

SOM Multiespai is a shopping and leisure centre located in the Nou Barris district in the north of Barcelona, Spain. It originally opened on 20 September 2001 under the name Heron City Barcelona, as part of a leisure-centre project promoted by the British company Heron International, which also developed similar complexes in Madrid and Valencia. In its early years the centre combined leisure, dining and retail with a multiplex cinema, children's areas and open-air events, but over time it lost relevance within the city's commercial landscape. A renewal process began in 2017 with the aim of modernising the infrastructure, improving the visitor experience and repositioning the complex as a multifunctional urban centre. In April 2018 the integral renovation of the building was completed, including the transformation of its common areas, the restructuring of its commercial mix, the addition of new family leisure zones and the redesign of its visual identity. As part of that process, the centre officially adopted the name SOM Multiespai, marking a new stage aimed at consolidating the venue as a reference for dining, entertainment and services in Nou Barris, with a more inclusive model adapted to the urban dynamics of its surroundings. The complex has a total surface of approximately 34,000 m² dedicated to commercial, dining and leisure activities, distributed over three levels. It houses 34 operational units, including 13 shops. Among the brands present are Mango, Lefties, Sprinter, Pepco, Druni, Marco Aldany, Dormitienda, Guaw and Mercadona, alongside services such as a pharmacy, a veterinary clinic and beauty services. SOM Multiespai offers 18 dining establishments spread between the upper floor and outdoor spaces, covering everything from fast food to international cuisine, conceived as a social meeting point with terraces, covered areas and universal access. For leisure and entertainment, the centre has a multiplex cinema operated by Cinesa with 12 screens featuring the latest projection technology and commercial programming. It also includes the Selfie Plaza, a Forus gym, a Zero Latency virtual reality zone, Laser Tag games and Hi-Claw claw machines, as well as pop-up spaces and a monthly agenda of family events. The centre provides a 44,000 m² underground car park with capacity for 1,600 vehicles, including spaces for people with reduced mobility and motorcycles. There is also bicycle parking at the mall entrances and scooter parking in the plaza near the lifts to the car park. Complementary services include Amazon, AliExpress, Vinted and Pudo lockers, ATMs, power bank rental, vending machines, rest areas, a taxi rank, Bicing stations and visitor assistance via WhatsApp. SOM Multiespai is located in the Nou Barris district in northern Barcelona and offers multiple access options by public and private transport. Public transport connections include Rodalies de Catalunya train lines R3, R4, R7 and R12 at Sant Andreu Arenal station; Barcelona Metro lines L1 at Fabra i Puig, L4 at Llucmajor and L5 at Virrei Amat; urban bus lines 11, 32, 34, 62, 96, 122 and 132 (TMB service); and nearby Bicing stations.

In its early years, Heron City Barcelona combined leisure, dining and retail with a multiplex cinema, children's areas and open-air events, although over time the space lost relevance within the city's commercial panorama.

This new denomination marked a change of stage aimed at consolidating the venue as a reference for dining, entertainment and services in the Nou Barris district, with a more inclusive model adapted to the urban dynamics of the surroundings. Since then, the centre has adopted a hybrid urban model, combining commercial, dining and entertainment spaces with public and sports services. With an approximate surface of 34,000 m² of commercial and leisure area, the venue houses 13 shops, 18 restaurants, a multiplex cinema with 12 screens, a gym, a hotel and a virtual reality area. In addition, it has a 44,000 m² underground car park with capacity for 1,600 vehicles and large common areas distributed over three floors.
