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.
