Milan, development and opportunity

Covid-19 emergency has emptied its streets, but Milan continues to strengthen its position as the most dynamic city in Italy, increasing its ability to attract both students and young workers both domestically and internationally, and the favorable supply and demand fundamentals.

Back to the open air

Covid-19 scared and slowed us down. But Porta Nuova has restarted, with renewed social interaction methods, contents, and a “green beach” for urban holidaymakers and Milano City Studios, providing an innovative location for digital content, events, commercials and film-television production for the city.

Porta Nuova, the first neighborhood designed for the community

Attention towards social and physical wellbeing of the communities that inhabit the built spaces will be the guiding criteria for the real estate of the future. These needs have been even further highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which inspired many reflections throughout whole sector. We talk about it with Mahesh Ramanujam, CEO of US Green Building Council, and Rick Fedrizzi, CEO of International WELL Building Institute.
