Apparently that building is also a Datacenter and not just offices.

This Saturday, the National Police have evicted the Telefónica de Gran Vía Building and all the stores near this of Fuencarral Street in a large device developed from 2:50 p.m.
"Suddenly a policeman comes in with the badge in his hand saying 'everyone out, except the workers, let's vacate the store right now,'" says Cristina Ramírez Revuelta, an employee of one of the stores in the area.
"Six or seven secret police officers have cordoned off the first section of Calle Fuencarral and told people to go down Calle de las Infantas," says Raúl Domínguez Rodríguez, a worker.
Customers who were inside have had to quickly leave the shops at the request of the police.
The workers of the surrounding premises have closed the door and remained locked up until the agents allowed them to leave after 3:40 p.m.
Part of Fuencarral street has been sealed off to prevent the population from entering and leaving while the area was secured.
According to witnesses, the eviction could be due to a bomb warning when the canine patrol had come to the place.
Neighbors and workers have used social media to try to find out what was happening. "The police have evicted Fuencarral street. The shops have closed and the neighbors do not know what is happening, but it gives a lot of bad vibes," one of them wrote.
