LVMH to open a new headquarter in Milan in Porta Romana area

News broke of the opening of a new Italian headquarter for LVMH, the luxury group that owns Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Dior, Bulgari, and many others. The conglomerate led by Bernard Arnault is preparing to open a new office in Milan, in the Porta Romana district, following the agreement with Convivio, the company that last November, together with Prada Holding, had taken over the space of the former Scalo di Porta Romana. 

Convivio, an Italian-French group, is currently working on the development of various projects in an area close to that of the former railway, with the construction of the Symbios building. Within this facility, LVMH secured two office floors with large terraces, where 170 Italian employees are expected to move in early 2022. LVMH has reportedly signed a lease for at least the next ten years. Built by the ACPV-Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel architecture and design studio, Symbios expands for 18,000 square meters, includes catering spaces, and involves the construction of a 600 square meter auditorium. The offices, designed as flexible spaces, have been built with a green perspective and will host common areas for teamwork and to increase creativity and productivity. 

The arrival of LMVH confirms the great growth and interest surrounding the Porta Romana district, reborn thanks to the creation of the Fondazione Prada, which also includes the construction of a High Line similar to that of New York, and where the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics Village will be built.
