CityLife Shopping District, located above Tre Torri station, integrates a public park with indoor and outdoor piazzas, food hall, cafes, restaurants, shops and cinema as well as facilities for health and wellbeing.
The project is part of the urban recovery and redevelopment plan for the former Milan Trade Fair district and involved the construction of a podium structure joining the Generali-Hadid Tower that rises above it.
With its 32,000 m², it’s the largest shopping centre in Italy. CityLife represents also one of Europe’s largest redevelopment projects. It includes 1,000 new homes, offices for almost 10,000 staff, the new 42-acre park, piazzas and kindergarten.

Defined by the three axes of the city that converge within CityLife, the shopping district’s composition continues the geometries of the Generali Tower.
Bamboo flooring (which is extremely durable and can be procured in a large quantity from sustainable sources), ceiling and columns welcome visitors to the shopping district’s interior.
The 90-acre CityLife redevelopment opens the old trade fair of Milan grounds to year-round civic use and integrates the new public park with Milan’s most extensive pedestrian zone, creating the largest new public space in the city.
Designed and constructed to reduce energy consumption and emissions, the projects within CityLife have received LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council (USGBC).
