Siemens and COIMA, a leader in the investment, development, and management of real estate assets on behalf of institutional investors, are continuing their long-term strategic partnership with one of the most iconic buildings in Milan's Porta Nuova district – Pirelli 35. The goal is to transform the 27.000-square-meter, 11-story asset into a smart and energy-efficient property. The 65-year-old building is set to demonstrate exceptional environmental performance to its 40 commercial tenants by reducing energy consumption by approximately 60% and CO₂ emissions by 2,000 tons on an annual basis.
Siemens' integrated building management system, Desigo CC, is one of the key technologies enabling the achievement of these targets. The solution offers a high level of cybersecurity protection and orchestrates all building operations – such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, room automation, fire safety, as well as electrical distribution – in a single, centrally monitored system. The building features advanced sensors simultaneously monitoring seven different environmental parameters, including air quality, energy consumption, and CO₂ levels. The building’s comprehensive electrical infrastructure includes a SIMOSEC medium-voltage switchgear, 59 ALPHA low-voltage switchboards with SENTRON protection devices, and 35 control panels, ensuring optimal system control throughout the building.
Thanks to our partnership with Siemens and the implementation of cutting-edge tech, we are able to transform Pirelli 35 into a truly smart building.
Stefano Corbella, Sustainability Officer at COIMA
The Pirelli 35 commercial building is serving as a blueprint for sustainable urban regeneration. It showcases how buildings can be modernized with building and electrification technology to meet Europe's 2030 net-zero goals while maintaining their architectural heritage.
Being able to oversee all solutions and systems, facility managers are equipped to enhance operational efficiency, reliability, and system longevity – supporting business continuity.
The building offers optimized energy efficiency and increased occupant well-being, productivity, and safety. It delivers energy savings of 60%, cutting 2,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
The smart building has already achieved LEED Platinum and WELL Gold certifications, and its nZEB labeling stands as a testament to a broader commitment – not just to smart infrastructure, but to sustainability, health, and the evolving standards of urban living.
Pirelli 35 is a landmark regenerated office hub in Milan’s Porta Nuova district. Developed by COIMA, it offers 27,000 sqm of sustainable workspace and has been selected as the Italian headquarters of global brands.
