History
The project of the complex, which was built as part of the Scalo Romana redevelopment project and which was developed by real estate company COIMA and designed by the American architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, [1] was presented in July 2021, with delivery planned in July 2025. [2] The construction works, which lasted 30 months, were completed in June 2025, one month ahead of schedule. [3] The complex was presented to the public during a ceremony attended by institutions, investors, and other stakeholders on 30 September 2025, and was then handed over to Fondazione Milano-Cortina 2026 the following day.

During the Games, it will host 1,300 residents. [4]
After the games, COIMA plans to convert the complex into student housing for college students in Milan. [5] 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. [6]
