I Portali, Skyscraper in Porta Nuova district, Milan, Italy.
I Portali is a skyscraper under construction in Milan's Porta Nuova district, made up of two rectangular volumes placed perpendicular to each other and stacked one above the other. The tower reaches about 106 meters tall and is designed to house offices across its 24 floors.
Construction started in 2022 as part of the ongoing renewal of the Porta Nuova area, which has been reshaping this northern part of Milan for several decades. The area was once used for rail and industrial purposes before gradually becoming a modern business hub.
The structure contributes to Milan's contemporary business district character and influences how the area looks today. Its design presence shapes how people experience this neighborhood as they move through their daily routines.
The building is still under construction and not open to the public, but it sits in a neighborhood that is easy to walk through and explore on foot. Public transport connects well to Porta Nuova, and the surrounding area has parks, shops, and other towers worth seeing nearby.
The name I Portali, meaning 'The Portals' in Italian, refers to the shape formed by the two stacked volumes, which together suggest a large gateway or frame. This effect is most noticeable when looking up at the building from street level, where the gap between the two blocks becomes visible.
