Activists chanted slogans calling for secure housing and collective negotiations as police arrived at the building.
The protesters were eventually removed from the offices and their identities were checked by police as they left.
The action follows widespread protests triggered by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her Madrid home last week.
