The portfolio property is located in the centre of the Brera fashion and design district, which is only a few minutes’ walking distance from La Scala and the Cathedral. The building was completed in 1951 as a single-tenant property with a leasable area of around 3,000 m². Due to out-of-date office space and building services, the property was no longer marketable when the long-term tenant moved out. The revitalisation was aimed at updating building services and the building structure to permit highly flexible modern office layout design, and repositioning the property in the Milan real estate market.
The building was redesigned and extensively revitalised both architecturally and with respect to the building shell and interior space from 2016 to 2017:
Starting from a situation of complete vacancy, building “FBF 14” was successfully positioned in the Milan market and is fully leased to an Italian fashion company. “The Plan Award 2017” architectural award was received for revitalisation of the building and, in 2018, were awarded the LEED® Platinum certificate for existing buildings.
