Prada bets on the future of Porta Romana Prada Holding among the buyers of the former railway station of the neighborhood
Yesterday broke the news of the sale of the former Porta Romana railway station, one of the seven former Milan stations at the centre of a redevelopment plan aimed at changing the face of the city. Ferrovie Dello Stato Italiane group sold the site to the Porta Romana Fund, winner of the tender, managed by Coima S.G.R, and made up of Convivio, Coima Esg City Impact Fund and above all Prada Holding, the group controlled by Patrizio Bertelli and Miuccia Prada. After a nine-month tender, the area was sold for 180 million euros.
The redevelopment of the former Porta Romana station will be a key moment in redefining the role of Milan in Italy, as in the rest of Europe. The Olympics will be a strategic opportunity to reactivate the tourist flow and the economic induction it creates, but the project must necessarily be long-term, driven by a broader idea that can redesign the architecture of the city in the future.
