On behalf of the Value Add II Italy Fund (Barings).

The building at 9 Corso di Porta Vigentina, Milan was completed in 2021 with a completely renovated building envelope; a new staircase; a redeveloped garage on the second basement floor; renovated bathrooms; and a restored entrance lobby with an adjoining multifunctional space. The vertical internal partitions were demolished on the office floors to create an open-plan design, allowing the tenant – a well-known multinational company in the insurance and banking field – to customise the spaces to suit the needs of its Italian headquarters.

Based on plans from L22, the project was awarded LEED V4 Core & Shell Platinum certification and won Autodesk's annual competition, as well as the Building Design category for buildings under $20 million at the 2020 AEC Excellence Awards.
