History

The project of the complex, built as part of the Scalo Romana redevelopment project and designed by the American architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, [1] was presented in July 2021, with delivery planned in July 2025. [2]

After the games, COIMA, a real estate manager based in Milan, plans to invest over €200 million to acquire and convert the complex into student housing for college students in Milan. [3] Buildings adjacent to the park and railway near Olympic Square will be converted into affordable housing. Additionally, the Olympic Village Plaza is set to transform into a community square featuring retail stores, bars, restaurants, and cafés at ground level. The plaza will also include outdoor areas designated for farmers' markets and various community activities. [4]

Construction was completed in February 2025. During the Games, it will host 1,300 residents. [5]
