UniCredit Tower

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.

The tower defines modern Milan's character, showing how the city transformed an old industrial area into a thriving business district. The spaces around it have become a gathering point where people meet, work, and shop throughout the day.

The tower sits directly next to Milan's central railway station and is easily accessible by metro, train, or car. Visitors can explore multiple levels of shops, restaurants, and a public plaza surrounding the building.

The tower's LED crown lights up in different colors for special occasions—green at Christmas or rainbow patterns for commemorative events. These light displays have become a local landmark that transforms the city skyline in the evenings.
