UniCredit Tower is a modern office building with 31 floors in Milan's Porta Nuova district, distinguished by its sleek form and a pointed crown that glows with LED lights. The structure houses office spaces, shops, and a hotel while connecting seamlessly to the surrounding railway and metro infrastructure.
Construction began in 2008 following architect César Pelli's design and was completed in 2011, with the official opening in 2012. The completion marked a turning point in urban development, accelerating the modernization of the railway station district.
