In Milan, in the former Trotto area, abandoned for years and next to the stadium of San Siro, there will be a new residential complex, hosting about 700 residential units at average social rent of 120 euros per square meter per year. About 600 euros per month for a two-room apartment, to be clear.

The masterplan – signed by the architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) – provides a system of green spaces, including a central square open to the South on which the new houses will face.

Inside the existing buildings will be included services for the neighborhood, including a kindergarten for 60 children in via Aldobrandini and an after-school center dedicated to high school students.

There will also be a sports hub with a multifunctional gym and padel courts, retail spaces, and proximity services. The construction works are expected to start at the beginning of 2024.
