30-storey skyscraper for the Ubi base in Milan

Some perplexities about the operation are not lacking. To illustrate the story, the goal has been identified, the Joy skyscraper 22, but not yet the matrix – the real estate – has been lost. It was discussed yesterday, within the Ubi Supervisory Board, contradictory opinions. Only the convinced imprimatur of the council chaired by Andrea Moltrasio allows to define in detail the operation Ubi-Gioia 22, already described in the contours. The idea of ​​rationalizing the real estate of the bank and its operations in the Milan area should be materialized by an exchange, in the new tower that will be built instead of the old Inps building, via Melchiorre Gioia 22, two go through the pirellone. For now, we see only a huge hole, where are laid the foundations of the futuristic skyscraper on which Ubi is targeted and which should host the 2,000 employees in the offices of the bank in Milan.

Today, the work of the different divisions is concentrated in real estate certainly prestigious, but considered tedious for maintenance. Hence the idea of ​​a unification that arouses some reluctance among the directors, not so much for the financial commitment because when the work is completed through the exchange, the difference between the two real estate matches should rise to a few tens of millions of euros. As for the fact of the decentralization of Ubi on Porta Nuova, far from the historical controls of the bank and the real estate. The issue at the center of a lively debate. Coordinating the new skyscraper project as investment and badet manager Coima Sgr on behalf of the investor of Gioia 22, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, while Coima srl ​​has has been appointed head of development for the technical management of urban development and building.
