Constructed in 1958 by the renowned architectural group BBPR (Banfi, Belgiojoso, Peressutti, and Rogers), the Torre Velasca has long stood as a symbol of postwar Italian resilience and architectural experimentation in the city of Milan.
Today, under the direction of the investment group Hines, with Asti Architetti leading the architectural renovation and Studio Valerie Traan and AMDL Circle contributing to interior and public space design, the Torre Velasca is entering a new chapter. It is being transformed into a hybrid complex that integrates residential, office, and cultural functions.
The restoration also includes a comprehensive overhaul of the building’s technological core—HVAC systems, energy efficiency upgrades, acoustic insulation, and digital infrastructure—earning the project LEED Gold and WiredScore Gold certifications.
The building spans a total area of 34,000 square meters and stands 75 meters tall.
