market overview

A market spanning northern and southern industrial depth

Italy’s flexible workspace market is led by Milan, the country’s dominant commercial centre and the anchor for financial services, fashion, media and international professional services. Demand there clusters around the Centro Direzionale, Porta Nuova and CityLife, with UniCredit, Intesa Sanpaolo and most international banks’ Italian HQs in the city.

Rome is a distinctly different market, driven by government, media and state-linked enterprises concentrated in the EUR district and around the historic centre.

Turin carries the weight of Italy’s automotive industry, with Stellantis and Ferrero anchoring demand. Bologna’s food, automotive and mechanical clusters support an expanding coworking pool.

Naples is the commercial hub of the south, with office demand focused on the Centro Direzionale designed by Kenzo Tange.

Catania has grown into a technology and microelectronics cluster around STMicroelectronics.

Pricing varies sharply between Milan’s premium market and materially more accessible supply in the south.
