Scalo Vallino terminal, built at the end of the 19th century as a service centre for the nearby Porta Railway station, has been used throughout the years as freight terminal, repair shop, train spare part warehouse, and more recently, as a deposit for those companies renting the premises from FS. The area transformation envisages the creation of a new commercial hub for the neighbourhood including a new medium-sized supermarket, shops and services, as well as some portions used for residential purposes.

description

The project envisages the creation of a dynamic and permeable space, a mix of public and private services. The buildings in the project will be erected with different volumes and will have different uses: - near the railway, volumes used for commercial/services purposes on different levels, with 2/3 floors above ground and underground/integrated parking lots; - near Via Nizza, buildings with a max height of 9 storeys used for residential purposes, temporary residential and/or hospitality purposes and service/commercial businesses on the ground floor; - along Corso Sommeiller, a horizontal volume used for residential purposes, temporary residential and/or hospitality purposes. In the northern part, a public square on different levels of variable heights to ensure the connection between Corso Sommeiller overpass and Via Nizza, while in the southern part a sport hub will be created.
