LONDON – October 9, 2024 – H.I.G. Capital (“H.I.G.”), a leading global alternative investment firm with $65 billion of capital under management, is pleased to announce that one of its affiliates has completed the construction of Madrid Content City (“MCC”), a 140,000 square meter content production hub with state-of-the-art integrated audiovisual services, including production and post-production, a university focused on media studies, and other related facilities. MCC offers a multinational tenant line-up with long-term leases, making it a leading content production hub in continental Europe.
Having successfully completed MCC in Madrid, a new expansion phase has begun in Seville where the initial investment in Sevilla Content City (“SCC”) was recently completed. SCC includes approximately 4,000 square meters of production and post-production studios and offers a generous backlot for location filming.
Riccardo Dallolio, Managing Director and Head of H.I.G. Realty in Europe, said: “The successful completion of MCC reflects an important milestone for H.I.G. Realty’s strategy in Europe. We are excited to continue expanding this platform and benefitting from strong secular tailwinds relating to content production.”

Realty in Madrid, added: “The successful completion of this large-scale, state-of-the-art media hub is a further demonstration of our ability to execute on complex and innovative projects in Spain.
