Frequently Asked Questions

Northern Italy hosts the country’s most significant logistics clusters — Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Piedmont — along with the Rome macroarea for Central Italy. 
Lombardy is the leading logistics platform, with strategic hubs such as Milan, Lodi, Pavia, Bergamo, Brescia, Piacenza, and Monza Brianza. 
The Piacenza Logistics Valley is one of the most developed districts along the A1–A21–A7 corridors. 

Main interports include:

  • Bologna (Emilia-Romagna): Among the most important in Europe, a crucial node along the A1–A14–A13 corridors. 
  • Verona – Quadrante Europa (Veneto): A strategic hub along the Brenner Corridor. 
  • Novara – CIM (Piedmont): A central gateway for freight flows toward Northern Europe. 

The EPBD Directive requires minimum energy performance levels and promotes the development of nearly seroemission buildings. We support clients with compliance and in implementing ESG strategies that enhance the competitive value of their assets.

Ecommerce has significantly increased demand, particularly for lastmile facilities in major urban areas, pushing prime rents in Milan and Rome to record levels. End users and 3PLs continue to be the key players driving the sector’s growth.

Leases are generally structured with a 6+6year duration, often longer for institutional occupiers. Rent reviews follow ISTAT indexation. We negotiate competitive terms and advantageous incentive packages, ensuring strong operational flexibility.
