The project, managed by CBRE Investors on behalf of the Strategic Partners Europe II Fund, commenced in 2008 and will comprise 12,000 m2 of office space across three Grade-A buildings.
With LEED certification pending, the scheme will be compliant with the highest standards in quality and sustainability, including false ceilings and floating floors in calcium phosphate which optimise energy savings. The complex also boasts green areas, waterways and a series of terraces 'enhancing the luminosity of the interior spaces and creating an attractive environment for the future occupiers', CBRE said.
Christine Sonnier, Managing Director at CBRE Investors, said: 'Affori Centre represents the realisation of CBRE Investors' commitment to sustainable development both in Italy and across the world. The development offers high-quality office space built to the strictest environmental standards.'
The complex is situated in the northwest area of Milan, a rapidly expanding district, and is easily accessible from the centre of Milan as well as Malpensa International Airport.
