Summary:
- The City of Milan has awarded a 35-year public-private partnership contract to GE City Srl Impresa Sociale and Imera Srl to complete and manage a long-abandoned student housing project on Via Ucelli di Nemi in Ponte Lambro, transforming two six-story buildings into a 200-bed complex with community services.
- The €11 million redevelopment will offer single and double rooms alongside coworking spaces, vocational workshops, a multifunctional hall, café, and social concierge services, aiming to integrate student accommodation with local neighborhood needs in one of Milan’s most vulnerable districts.
- This project exemplifies a growing Milan trend of converting unfinished or underused urban sites into student housing, reflecting efforts to address the city’s affordable housing shortage through public-private partnerships amid rising demand from students and young professionals.
