Porta Nuova is a major office hub (tens of thousands of workers, dozens of companies including banks, tech, and fashion) as well as a residential and visitor destination. It emphasizes pedestrian and bike routes, public space, and sustainability — it was the first district worldwide to receive both LEED and WELL for Community certifications. Green areas form a substantial share of the site.
Porta Nuova is the face of 21st-century Milan — dense, international, design-conscious, and unusually green for a high-rise business district.
