History
editThe project of the complex, 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 SGR, 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]
